Dump the clutch = rev up in neutral with shift knob in first, then let go of the clutch completely (dumping it) when your RPMs are up high - this creates much more wear on the clutch than the method below

Wait for the clutch = floor the accelerator once the gear is engaged but the RPMs at the shift are reasonable
