Oddly enough, the biggest thing that I took from this has already been discussed in other trainings. It is all about making sure that the students know that you are a real person, not a bot, and that you're there for them if they need it. Also, you have to make the subject matter fun. I know that not everything is a barrel of laughs, but we need to take that dry material and turn it into something they're asking more about. Whether it is relating it to real applications or letting them guide the lesson. For instance, I have a programming class where I say that we want to use these following tools. How would you like to use them. Granted, prompts and pushing are sometimes necessary, but once they get into it, the ball rolls sometimes into unintentionally funny spots.
