BOTOC: Kahncepts Results #20

December 28, 2011 in BOTOCS (Battles of the Ongoing Classes), Lesly's Thoughts

Teaching a Kahncept is Just Like Acting!!!! How?
Chapter 5. Ya’ can’t Have Technical Trouble. Prepare. Do your homework ahead of time. Don’t wing it.

While a couple groups weren’t too challenged technically, most groups clearly hadn’t practiced using the TV and DVD player ahead of time (per my very clear instructions!) and had trouble during their presentations, slowing them down and in some cases, causing some things not to work at all.  Some groups actually prepared their props during their show which was noisy and distracting.
