First Day of Teaching


The day of judgment, jejeje joke.! since today is my first day of teaching after the week of observation, I woke up early just to refresh my mind and to ready myself for the time I am going to teach at exactly 12:00 noon. When I arrive to school I asked Mr. Abing on the simple words of circumstances that is not so clear for me, I asked his help for I can clearly explained well later. The bell rang for 12:00 noon meaning this would gonna be the time to stand in front of the EDP3 students and discuss to them the topic of Formatting Text on HTML, yes I would confess I was a little bit scared of being criticized by other people so I must be perfect but then that is impossible for no one is perfect, I am just trying to be but it was hard, my objective is to made my students understand the topic I am inputting to them not to be fast just to finish in just one click/session, when I began to speak they are just quit shy too, they are not responding, a few, yes, but most of them just choose to be silent, I call their attention by the speed typing of the input for the discussion, yes they look like a little bit alive by my strategy but they are much alive when I told them that I would give a prize to the one who would finish correctly my hands-on exercise, yes I can read on their mind that they are in great "libogize" but they are trying their best to come up on the same output that I presented, 10mins before the time I gave them another exercise, the 10 items quiz which turn their minds up-side-down maybe because they just forgot the terms I included to my quiz but as a BSOA student they must know the basic acronym of words which is related to our course. I realized after the 1 and a half hour of teaching experience that teaching is not an easy job, all the pressure are there but I find it as a memorable and unforgettable experience of my life.
