Micro Teaching

So the starting of the day didn't go soo smoothly. Technology...does it really help our everyday lives or does it make things harder? Well in my case, it made things a little more difficult. One camcorder wouldn't let me even get the main menu and once we figured out that it was the camera and not, we figured out how to unfinalize the disk. But due to neither of us at our school seeing how the camcorder works, we apparently didn't tape my teaching...all this said, I still believed that it was on. Therefore it still made me aware of my behaviours.

The actual activity went well. My 6 kids were awesome. A few were a little hesitant at first, in particular two of the girls. The boys were exceptional, although answers were sometimes quiet, they were ready for anything! The students really enjoyed coming out of the class and having a special lesson, and due to this helped my activity go smoothly.

The observations that my two counsellors made really open my eyes to new ways to approach my lessons. The feedback was really constructive and appreciative. Although the teaching went well, I am glad that the micro teaching is done. Now I can move on to getting ready for the teaching block.
