Quick support for in-class teaching ideas: "When you're teaching a class, try to give the students something active to do at least every 20 minutes" (1994, Felder, http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/f/felder/public/Columns/Thingsiwish.html). This sage advice has been frequently recommended for over twenty years, but less well known are techniques for doing this.
