G.C. - you gotta start a post like that with a warning!

I laughed so hard I squirted coffee out my nose onto the screen. Then I started choking and my little dog tried to revive me by licking my teeth while I was incapacitated. It was NOT a pretty sight!

Thanks for the report.

Nope, DPS doesn't allow it. The class must be taught by a real live person. We are allowed to use only a certain percent of the class time for videos or other multimedia. (I don't remember exactly, but I think it is 20%) Don't confuse that with PowerPoint. Talking while using PowerPoint is still "live instruction".

I use a one hour video. I have two different ones. The makeup of the class determines which one they see. That gives them a chance to get a break from me for an hour, gives me a chance to get off my feet for an hour, and is usually just enough time for me to complete the TR-100s and affidavits.

I do appreciate your offer, though. I am always looking for ways to make the class more interesting, more engaging, more entertaining while still remaining within DPS guidelines.
