Watching my video over and over has helped me see a few things that I need to work on. The biggest thing I noticed is that I am terrible at giving feedback. I kept looking for feedback in my video so i could click the button but could not find enough. Even if I did find feedback is was like one word and directed at the whole class instead of an individual.
I also noticed that I need to work on my cues. I did parachute so it was a little harder for me to give cues but I could have shown them how to move the parachute in a few words and then had them do it. I am sure if I would have done that things would have gone a lot smoother. I also was not very good at repeating the cues later for the students. I noticed more than anything how annoying my voice can be sometimes. I really needed to be more excited and stop saying "okay" over and over again!
For when I next teach I will be better at giving cues even if it is a hard lesson to give cues on. I improved in this area after this lesson and things went much smoother but I still need to work on repeating the cues. I also just need to focus on the class more and have fun with them. If I do that I will be more enthusiastic and be better at giving individual feed back.
