Okay...so I'm pretty sure I get how this works. If someone has a general weakness or aversion to a certain skill set, and your not one of those people that enjoys the glaring spotlight for more than the minimal and socially acceptable verbal exchange of, "Hi,
insert name here! How's
insert name of the previous insert names spouse/child/whomever?" Sure enough, you'll be asked to do just what you're afraid of the most! If you are someone at all like this then you're alot like me. And if you're alot like me then you already know that standing in front of a group of some 20-30 people and attempting to teach them about something you struggle with yourself is a tough sell. In my case I've been asked to talk about technology and our 21st century learners and how to support them at home. Maybe now you can understand my need for a panic button or better yet an ejection seat with parachute in tack and a good pair of running shoes! I'm still just learning this myself! Honestly though, I will give it my best shot and pull it off without too much concern, I'm sure. I'll learn alot myself and hopefully be able to enlighten those that attend. It's all about growth, right? And often times it's the teacher that ends up learning the most! Wish me luck :O)
ok, did this happen already? how did it go? if not, good luck!
ReplyDeleteThankfully, no. I have until September 15th to remember what I thought I knew and brush up on the things I don't! :O)
