So, today was the turn of the Technology Faculty Learning and Teaching day.

Good time keeping in the morning but a bit lax in the afternoon and a later finish meant the day seemed to drag on. Isn't it typical that the most boring speaker (in everyone's opinion not just mine) is the one that over runs?!

Great talk on using humor in math teaching that may cross over to the kinds of things I do.

But highlight for me was a foreign national turning up who I've met a couple of times before and being asked to translate Acronyms and any difficult words. Made the day much more interesting (and kept me on my toes). Although I nearly caused trouble when as a joke I spelled out DVD and nearly caused a suffocation as laughter was stifled.
