1st online task - 1st teaching exercise
11.09 12h.
After several days of preparations, researching and virtual contacts with the rest of my group-mates the moment of truth had arrived. As there were only three of us during this contact day it was agreed that I would present on my own in one room (it was not my idea) and the other two would share the same presentation in a different room. A brief sense of panic turned into responsibility when I realised that I would be independently defending our presentation.
For the whole project we decided to use Google Slides as it was the simplest and more practical way to collaborate in an online environment. We also used bubbl.us to create a mindmap to present concepts in a more visual way. It was great to know that two members of our group were professionally related to International Business and the other two were in the Tourism/Hospitality sector - this made things easier in terms of research and coordination of the whole project.
It was somehow relieving having the image of the rest of attendees on video and the interaction with them helped out a lot. I thought that interruptions in the middle of my presentation would make me lose my concentration but on the other hand the questions coming from the other people served as a mean to develop some ideas and get more commitment from them.
Well, it was only the first attempt and the subject (Laws and regulations that affect teaching plans) was perhaps not very appealing but I think the final feelings were quite positive. I had to deal with many factors at the same time that I am not used to handle yet but I suppose that after repeating over and over again I will find myself more confident.
