What is the click moment? How do you know when flow is achieved? 34:14 no We've noticed that many of our students have a moment where everything 'clicks' and they make a leap forward in their knowledge of Python. Kelly and Sean discuss strategies to ensure that this happens, including coding challenges, metacognitive discussion, and formative assessments. Flow states are another phenomenon that indicates deep learning and knowledge acquisition. We've defined that as a state of increased productivity, focus, and absorption. python,teaching,learning,flow state,aha moments We've noticed that many of our students have a moment where everything 'clicks' and they make a leap forward in their knowledge of Python.
