15 minutes of fame

The last 2 days have consisted of filming for my PACT teaching event = nerve-wracking! I'm so glad the filming part is over!!

Wednesday: I had to film the first clip of my 2 part series. I have to show my students collecting data. I chose to do this on the mitosis lab. Students were looking at prepared slides of mitosis in the onion (Allium) root tip.

 I didn't really like how the clip went because I felt super rushed to get the video done by the arbitrary timeline that HSU has set...Like, I had to push my class faster than Tera's class just to make this video.

It's all done and uploaded and now I just have to analyze it) It went fine...I'm just a perfectionist and have ridiculously high expectations of myself and obviously as all you reading this know, I am my own worst critic. I was just so stressed...I can finally relax now. I have a prezi all ready that I made myself (it's a model of Tera's power point) I'll include it if you want to look at it. It's about meiosis. I'm not finished because we're not going to finish it tomorrow (Friday) and then I'll have the weekend to finish it.

Thursday: Today went much better...I got to have the class share their data using a data table I created. I have found that when I create something, I feel much more comfortable teaching it. That's why I'm excited to use my meiosis prezi because it will be the first thing I created that I get to teach. We'll see how it goes....lol

I have to say that watching videos of my class/teaching is hilarious!! So much goes on that I see and either can't react to or don't see at all. Like I needed a volunteer to help me and I had so many hands raised. I chose a student and then in the video you hear at least like 10 students go, "Ah man!"
