+# Teaching tips
+
+## White-boards
+
+- Try to frequently use white-board, because:
+	- It makes teaching more interactive.
+	- It slows down teaching, because you have to draw.
+- Make sure you have good pens with high contrast.
+- Have two white-boards:
+	- One for tidy concept maps.
+	- One for messy notes.
+
+## Stand
+
+- Try not to sit, because:
+	- Teaching will be more dynamic.
+	- People can see and hear you better.
+- Construct something to have your computer up, such that you can stand in front of it.
