    I am a maker! This video shows the Morse Code generator/trainer that I created as an introductory Arduino project. I used the Elego Super Starter Kit which goes for about $30 right now on Amazon. I used three tutorials for the bits and pieces: Green LED; Push Button; 1602 LCD Module. I then wrote C code to write the Arduino sketch that makes it all work together. I am looking forward to making more and more fun electronics video in the future. But what to make next?

    Hi Brad, What a fun project! This looks like a great way to motivate students to apply what they're learning.

      So common with tech! Rather than first considering the learning objectives and how best to accomplish them, many start with some cool thing they'd like to use and work in reverse.

      You don't have to teach in a silo! Running new ideas past a colleague and discussing them can help you to better anticipate potential pitfalls and develop preventive strategies. Also, others might get excited about your idea too and join in!
  • It’s essential that you receive feedback from students

      Some go out of their way to avoid student feedback, as if it makes them somehow weaker. Show your human side, model the learning process - that's one of the best things you can do for your students!

      It's really frustrating when an instructor tries something new, then automatically discards it because it wasn't perfect the first time. What is? Try it again with some tweaks, don't just give up.
  • Start planning what you’ll do differently

      One of the best "teaching tricks" out there is to keep a running log/journal/etc of changes you want to make the next time through. Put it in writing somewhere you won't lose it; you may think you'll remember it, but it's more likely that thought won't return to you until you encounter the same problem next time.
