Hi Class:
It was a big relief for me to get the teaching project completed. I had the project ready some time back, but after several weeks of trying, could not find a forum to deliver what I had prepared. In my search for an instructor sponsor, Dania Ochoa came to my rescue thank God! I had an opportunity to teach in her class, albeit I had to change my project completely, to teach objectives that were pending in her course.
I met with her on a Thursday, and the project needed to be delivered on the following Tuesday. I wanted to meet with her on Monday, but other obligations concerning work did not accommodate. I was able to finish up preparations only the night before, so I was a little tense. Thank goodness everything went ok. I printed out the PowerPoint slides, 3 to a page, as a backup. I had purchased the student software for the updated version of PowerPoint, but could not get it to load. The installation on my PC would not work.
So I then made the PowerPoint slides on an older version, but the only computer I could use was my MacBook, that I did not know would be compatible displaying over the PC at the school or not. So I printed out the slides in note taking form primarily for a backup plan in case the file would not open on the PC. Thank God that the file DID open once I got to UTB, but there was no time to try ahead of time, so I was really sweating it. I have taught enough though at our facility of Rio Grande State Center to know that it is always good to have a backup plan.
Anyway, I got through it, and the sessions went well. It was a great experience, and I really enjoyed working with Dania Ochoa who graciously granted permission for me to teach her class. Dania is a wonderful credit to her profession, and it was my pleasure to meet her and her students.
Great experience.
Best regards,
Robin Martin
P.S. I wish everyone the best Thanksgiving ever. :-)
