How I Teach Web Design
April 24, 2013
Hi,
I had a conversation recently on how to best teach web design and programming, and I thought the main points of the conversation might make a good blog post … so here we go!
Stef’ Web Design Teaching Strategy
There is a lot that goes into creating an effective web design or web programming training course, but I can reduce it to these three main principles:
- Break things up into manageable chunks.
- Avoid tech/nerd terms as much as possible.
- Filter what you teach – don’t try to show everything at once.
My teaching style is based on my ten + years of teaching web design and programming but it is also based on my training in psychology and believe it or not, about 30 yrs of martial arts training – I use teaching principles and techniques I picked up from many styles of martial arts, from my many martial art teachers, and from a couple of broken noses!
… You learn a lot when you get your nose broke, it’s true!
The good thing though, is that I can guarantee that in my web design and web programming training courses, you will not get your nose broken. But you will still learn how to be a professional web designer and web programmer if you want to.
