It feels like we're at a transition point of our ICT course. I handed in my individually-written lesson plan today with a bit of fear and trembling since my group's lesson plan kinda sorta got butchered. Not exactly fun being pointed out to three entire classes as a "bad lesson plan" to learn from, but at least we had a lot of fun doing the group work...
Anyway, it feels like a transition because suddenly we are expected to come up with a draft proposal for an entire SCLA package in ten minutes, as if lesson plans dropped into our brains like manna. Sigh. Do you know how long I mulled over my individual lesson plan? How many times I threw out my drafts and started again for one reason or another? Lesson plans do not come naturally to me. And now I have to think of another one.
It is never the ICT that intimidates me. It is being a teacher...

My group presented Hot Potatoes today. I thought our group worked very well together and did a good job. Well done Ruva, Si Min and Donna! On my part, I felt that I was talking much too quickly, without any idea whether anybody understood a word I said. Sigh. What to do. Want to be teacher, must talk and must be clear. I wonder when I'll be good at this...

Hi Faith,
Don't be too hard on yourself. You and your group did well!
Then again... as long as you don't live in mortal fear of being in front of a group of people, then never being totally satisfied with how you did might actually be a good thing. It makes you want to do better each time.

Thank you Dr Tan for the encouragement...
I suppose never being satisfied is a good thing. Our Ed Psych class teacher videoed our presentation where we role-played as teachers. It was interesting to watch myself pretend to be a teacher. Can do better, definitely. But hopefully I'll get there.
Thanks for the horizon-expanding ideas in your ICT class. I learnt a bunch. Hopefully I can apply! :)
