NewsFlash! Teacher found not to be a Robot

In spite of a long run of near flawless performance, and an uncanny knack of getting CPUs to do his bidding, the interactive media teacher today managed to demonstrate that perfection is not a pre-requisite to success.

Much to the relief of his students one was reported to say "now we know he is human". Others chuckled as code did not work as expected. But in true form, the teacher used this opportunity to introduce the value of using trace to debug code and find where it wasn't working.

The teacher refused to comment on rumours that he had microchips where his heart and brain should be but simply said "when code doesn't work, it is always user error, you just have to be methodical about hunting down the glitch. I think it is important that HE students sometimes see that code doesn't always work as expected, so they can also see what professionals do to solve problems like this. It's all part of being willing to teach flexibly and respond to what the HE learners want and need - not everything can be planned in advance when teachers are willing to respond to learner requests and the direction the lesson goes, but HE learners gain a lot from it. It's real."
