On Tuesday March 17 2020, our tech class ventured into new territory. We had our first ever class online! I was actually kind of surprised at how well it went. The directions were easy to follow and with a little assistance from Rich, which I always seem to rely on, it went pretty smoothly. I have to admit I had some difficulty with the in class assignment and couldn’t get it to work properly. It’s funny, if I were in class, I would have had no issues asking for help. However, Despite not being in the same room as everyone, I felt as though I had everyone’s eyes and ears on directly on me when I spoke. It felt was too intimidating to ask questions. (Just me being a chicken…) I wonder if anyone else felt that way. I know Rich had shown us ways to get the Instructors attention without having to say anything to the class, but I was still too uncomfortable. I realize how much improvement I have made this year in regards to the amount of tech skill I have learned and what I can use with relative confidence. However, in comparison to my cohort, I am lagging behind. When things settle down, I still plan to take a course of two to build on my skills, so I don’t lose the ones I have and can continue to learn and practice new ones.
