Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is just a short three-paragraph post but it's worth once again highlighting how difficult it is for (most) teachers to get away from lecturing. As one commenter says, "they are easy to make; they are familiar; and they let the lecturer perform... any other format take a lot more work." I can confirm all of that, and I would add, I personally learn a lot when I prepare and give a lecture, since all that hands-on work is a great learning experience. Meanwhile, if you do anything else, you're putting the success of your event (and your reputation!) in the hands of attendees who might not want something more active.
