First Class Done!

I had my first class this morning! Second Year Transportation! 15 21-year-old lads. It went ok. It could have been worse but I think I learned a lot!

The difficult thing is to get the students talking as much as possible and that's not easy! Also, picking topics that they can talk about is also very important! I know these guys like football and sports and music, so I think that could be an angle. Mention football and their eyes light up. I think they all know Roy Keane from Ireland, so that's a god thing!

So, I will have to sit down and come up with some more ideas for tomorrow's class. It's also a first class for some other transportation students.

I'm glad to have the first class over with. I think I won't be as nervous about the next one. I think I know more what to expect. I have a lot to learn about teaching but I hope to improve a lot!
