My First Class

I taught my first ever class yesterday. It was less scary than I expected, but it was also a pretty bumpy ride due to some technical issues and probably partly due to the fact that I haven’t taught a real class before. I’ve taught short workshops but it’s not the same. I’m trying to teach these students a much deeper understanding of the topic.

I overestimated my abilities on the mac platform. It’s been a while. I need to rehearse demos before I do them to make sure they will work the way I plan. No one wants to see me flounder around trying to figure out why something isn’t working.

But we dove in to the deep end. The students were great. They picked it up fast. A few of them were a little frustrated by the technical difficulties we were having BUT it can only get better from here.

I will probably post some demo videos for them of the things that didn’t go well so there’s less confusing clutter involved.
