Teaching

Wow, what ideas I have gotten from all the great micro teachings that have been done in class. I love when have to do micro teachings so I can gain new ideas of teaching when I am actually in the classroom! I have enjoyed every ones micro teaching and cannot wait for the rest of the micro teachings to be done. I feel that if you are truly passionate about being a teacher then you will always believe in being a life long learner, since that part goes along with teaching.

I'm with you. There were many great ideas, but I honestly dread micro teaching. Speaking in public is not something I do easily. I even get nervous talking in front of 8th graders. It is, however, getting easier with time and practice.

Why would someone who doesn't speak well in public want to be a teacher?

I guess I just feel like it'll be worth the discomfort in the long run--sort of like lifting weights or bicycling or with an intellectual twist, but unlike exercise, the benefits will not only be mine.
