Techniques to control pacing

[agitter]

We can adopt the colored signs or post its that other Carpentries workshops use to allow participants to indicate when they completed a step in a lesson. That will help us identify when we're ready to move on and who needs individual attention from instructors.

We can also try to go through some of the steps in the software three times, especially early on:

• here's what we're doing to do, instructor demonstrates it
• let's do it together
• try it yourself

Should we add this to instructor notes? Or somewhere in the lesson?

Once we decide what tool to use, we can put the plan in the instructor notes. Do we want to use a physical aide like signs or post it notes? They were effective in the Carpentries workshop I took.
