* '''We recommend sessions be approximately 90 minutes'''  This allows for an hour long session and enough time for questions and answers.
* Make sure you know your subject and know where to point students who wish more detailed information.
* Note at the beginning of your class if you would like students to ask questions as you go, or would prefer them to wait until the end.
* Remember that typing is slower than talking in front of a class or speaking on a phone call, so keep in mind you will not cover as much on IRC.
