Presentation Night

Stress! Am I ready? Who wants to go first? Put it off as long as possible? It is the same thoughts that our own students have. Especially those who fear failure, ridicule, negativism and those who are extremely critical on themselves with regards to no matter what you do you will never be good enough or do work good enough to be satisfying. Looking back on my presentation and what I did not say and do I feel that I could have done much better and that is extremely disheartening. We were responsible for placing material that we would use in our classes into a Kurzweil document and structure it around students that we work with and how we would present it to our students to maximize their learning experiences. It definitely is a learning experience. Am I an expert on Kurzweil now, NO, not by a long shot; however, I do know more now that I did before and with practice and guidance I will become comfortable and more knowledgeable and be able to present it to students who need this program.
