This is an exerpt from an article at Education Blog Romow, on teaching youth that has some good points for teaching adults. For as I always say, an adult is just a kid in a bigger, older body. To read the full article go here: http://www.romow.com/education-blog/using-humor-effectively-as-a-teacher/
"Another key to humor being effective as a teacher is to make sure it is not at the expense of other students. If you can only get a laugh while making a student look bad, then you should not be trying. Humor should always be easy for the students to laugh at. If you are being laughed at, you are succeeding. This means they are listening, and that is a good thing. Do not be afraid to be the butt of the joke. Your students will love you for it."
