So, it's Wednesday and I've been thinking back on our first Tuesday class. I have to admit I was slightly freaked out. As a DI instructor only this semester, and someone who has NEVER taught a class before, the idea of guest teaching and being video taped is not something I'm necessarily excited about. Although, as Rebecca said, I'm sure it will be very useful in helping us figure out our teaching styles and also bad public speaking habits. I for one am a hair-tosser when I speak in public. I was informed of this annoying habit during a speech class I had in high school. Hopefully I have grown out of the habit since that class was a good 10 years ago. If not, maybe I will just shave my head. Quick and easy, although might have detrimental effects on my social life. All horrors of video/teaching aside, I think the class is going to be extremely helpful in developing our classroom personae and comfort level, which is something I need very badly. We also seem to have a very fun group of people, so I am looking forward to the rest of the semester.
