Written
versus spoken explanations.
The
advantages of written explanations are:
· Accurate
instructions:
o Enhancements like pictures,
hardcopies, charts, diagrams etc. simplify the task.
· Step
by step execution:
o The proper sequence is guaranteed.
o Executed steps can be checked off.
· Repetition
is easy because the explanations are stored in a file and always available.
o Trial and error are easier to
manage.
· The
partners decide when they do the job.
The
advantages of spoken explanations are:
· Asking
questions happens real-time.
· The
focus is on the learners difficulties as opposed to the teacher’s
intentions.
Summary:
· I
prefer to start with written explanations. Unsolvable problems need
spoken guidance.
How
did I feel when I had problems with creating gadgets?
I
was a little bit puzzled. I couldn’t find the wanted gadget in the gadget lists
because I didn’t see the “More gadgets” tab. Brigitte’s hint was the key. “
