My teaching style
I approach each topic through use of booklets for the students to complete work and use a set of PowerPoint slides whereby the tasks stated on a particular slide will correspond with the page numbers in the work booklets. In the case of programming tasks, I use work sheets that will show what a sequence of code looks like so that the students will know or have a rough idea as to how to set out their code.
