What works and what doesn't

I have recorded some online facilitation lessons and am reflecting on what works well and what doesn't.

It is always hard to watch yourself teaching and not cringe. I am finally doing it! Watching and ....

I notice that I say, “Alright!” quite a lot! Along with, "Alright, now..."

The recording is not showing the class unless they are talking. This is different from what I see when I am on the Meet where I can always see them. I think the reason for this is that I recorded the Meet using a different account as I was concerned about slowing my computer down too much. That means I am seeing what that account sees on the Meet. Not what I was expecting but not a bad thing as the focus is on what I am doing for the purposes of this reflection.

I decided to include the whole video of the session and add chapters to the video at the relevant parts where I noticed something to reflect on.

Watch the video on Youtube to see the chapters or use the links below.
