Did you learn about your teaching style in the OR project? - Discuss your teaching strengths and weaknesses from this on blog.
After teaching technology to someone for this project, I think I have a different view of my teaching style. Usually I think teaching is really not a hard thing to do when I was teaching back at home. I think I am really good at teaching subject such as math, Chinese, and English to a group of students. But I have learned a lot from teaching someone how to use technology. I think it was a bit hard for me to do it when I was preparing for this project. I could teach myself how to use a technology pretty easy and I learn fast. When I was creating the handout, I found it was hard for me to write steps for the technology I was going to teach because I didn't if the handout I made was understandable for someone.
I think my strengths of teaching are: I can deal with a group of students and help them with their questions in class, create good activities in class for different subjects, deal with different situations which may happen in a sudden during class. Those are things I can do really well when I am teaching. My weaknesses of teaching are: I don't really to teach younger age students like first and second graders, because I don't which subject is too easy and which is too hard for them, and sometimes I have a hard time to understand students' questions in class.
Overall, I think I learned a lot from this project. This project helped me to make sure my teaching style is good for people. I think teaching how to use technology is way different from teaching subjects such as math in school because you need to self-taught yourself and do a lot of research. There is no teacher manual for you to use in teaching technologies especially when the technology you are going to teach is really new.
