Hello everyone. My name is Vilma and I am an aspiring high school English teacher. Graduation is coming closer and teaching is more a reality now than ever. I am definately scared of what I am gonna face once i actually get out there. I used to be confident in my teaching abilities....but that was before i realized how hard it is actually going to be. Last semester i finally got around to doing lesson plans and all the work that went into it was mind blowing. Its just amazing how much there is for a teacher to do and all that is required of them. Now I'm beginning to think that i may be getting more than i bargained for. I hope that I'm not the only one that's having second thoughts. It's just that when your young...and short... the thought of tall overly hormonal high school students can be quite intimidating. I guess now the shoe is on the other foot. Its time for me to be the teacher and for others to be my students. I guess my fear is really that I'm not going to be good at it...that I'm going to let my students down. I mean what if they don't learn anything, or worse learn all the wrong things from me?!? I just need to get over it.
As far as technology use in my classroom...that's yet to be seen. I am what i call computer stupid...not illiterate...just stupid. So once i get around to learning how to maneuver this damn contraption then I'll get around to using it in my class room. Well in the meantime I'll be thinking positive thoughts, see you!
