If you can boil these things down to really simple diagrams and talk your students through them it’s well worthwhile. Here’s one I use,

Should be self explanatory, if it ain’t it doesn’t work.

Deep end sounds about right:)

Thanks for the advice.

After our discussion the other day, I found this site: http://twitterfeed.com/

It always helps to try analogies from the students’ experience – give analogies and also ask for them.
