Stage Fright
Tomorrow represents the first day of actual instruction for me. I am slowly but surely releasing what I know works to try to to create something that will also work in this new…circumstance. It is not the normal sense of apprehension and anxiety for teaching that I usually experience. This whole thing is like a free-fall down the Rabbit Hole with me trying to gather up the pages and pieces of the “But I know this WORKS” file.
I have some ideas…so far, among the students I have met through Zoom, they seem to be pleasant, understanding, and kind humans. I am hopeful that this is the case and not just Sunday-go-to-meeting behavior.
It’s only an hour. And I can be creative. I like being creative. I can figure it out.
So, I should stop stalling and get cracking…
Wish me luck!
