Thanks for the heads-up, Paul. Time to update my No-Nonsense Study Guide. 73! Dan KB6NU ... CW Geek, ARRL MI Section Training Manager Read my ham radio blog...
QST I made a Q and A document out of the newly released Technician Class Question Pool. Please look it over and let me know if you see any errors. I noticed...
The first word of the question should be "Which". It is really a minor error but I do not know what the NCVEC will do. I guess drop the question. T3A09 (B) ...
The NCVEC new Techpool doc file is the source for the the Q and A document on HamElmer. I tried to use the graphics in the file but I had trouble formating the...
Norm Goodkin, K6YXH asked for a smaller version of the Q&A document that would take less paper and ink to print. I was happy to help him out. I put all of the...
In an effort to keep up with the times, I am expanding the available formats for HamElmer study documents. The first two extra formats are .epub and .mobi....
Paul, I've opened the .mobi file on "Kindle for PC". Once I got the file shared over to the Netbook where I have the application, I just did a "drag and drop"...
Bob, Wow! That was fast! I am glad it worked. First I made the ePub file. To do that I put all of my test from Word 2007 into notepad. After that, I used a...
I have an iPod Touch so I downloaded Stanza. The only way I could figure out to get the .epub file into the Touch was to upload it to my server and then...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there has a class format for the tech class that does not include teaching the question pool. I am trying to create a class...
... Randy The PPT slide I use include the questions, but they are a review of the material presented. i.e. We cover the material, then use the questions for...
I have used the HamElmer.com tech guide to teach with. Download it from the web site and give it a look. Normally during the class I get the question. When...
I've been a HAM for over 40 years and am a proponent of learning the theory behind exam questions. However, reality in today's world is that there are those...
John, Go to www.K3DIO.Com and click on the Training PPT's link. This will take you to a server that belongs to WB5QNG. He and I both use the Power Point ...
... Randy, I'll second the recommendation to look at the Technician Study Guide on www.hamelmer.com. It presents the material in 10 chapters and you can...
Thanks to everyone that replied. I will check out the sources. The only reason I asked is that I have seen way to many students only reading the questions...
While you might be right about publishing the question pool, I think the thing to remember is that having a callsign does not make someone a "ham." It's what...
Kinda a slap in the face to those of us who for the past over 50 years have taught - successfully - classes in electronics. Personally I would NEVER teach a...
Dan, You are right on the money. Just like a new aircraft pilot. A license is a license to learn. All, When I teach the Technician Class I break out the...
I have used the virtual demos available at http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations/index.php?cat=Featured_Sims Demos with FRS radios with "privacy" codes turned...
My 3¢, (adjusting for inflation!) We cover the Question Pool but sort of as review and progress monitoring. Bring in radios: HT's, mobiles, all-band, and all ...
I guess in reviewing my original question I should have clarified my request. I understand doing a fast question pool class type class for the tech. Adults...
Thanks for responding, Randy. I'd been planning a similar response. As you note, teaching kids is a whole lot different than teaching adults, and to be...
Here's a little fuel for the fire: I think the instructors who are teaching all this electronic theory _ought_ to bring out some of the test pool. You're...
I hesitate to even comment about teaching with or without the question pools because we all have different teaching styles that work for us as individuals. I...
I have to echo what Randy said about the question Pool, We need to do a better job of stiring the interest and learning. I recently had a class with kids and...
... I've recently started teaching a programming class through the local university's continuing education program. The guidance I received from their...
