The nuances of teaching

I have not really posted about my experiences lately.  We have been focusing on lesson plans.  My first attempt was a flop. I did not get the concept. I polled several of the instructors on their techniques and secrets.  I took their responses and made it my own style. My second attempt was much better.  I even went back and looked at my notes from learning 3 years ago. I know the information back and forth but delivery was the problem. I was faced with an unexpected assignment to teach a class on microstimulator.  I had not used the machine since I went to school but knew the information and researched before the class.  I had a model (my mother) and back up plan to allow for issues with technology. I made a handout for the students and a professional power-point.  I was shocked as I began to speak how easy and comfortable I felt.  I went through the information and answered questions easily.  The students were engaged in dialog.  I felt so relaxed when I watched them repeat on each other what I had taught.  I am going to be a great educator.  I know that I will learn a lot from the current educators/students and the future educators and students that I come in contact with.
