3 Lessons I Learned from my First Course
How was teaching an online course different from my experience teaching in schools? Here are three things I learned from the experience...
I can't believe it, but I'm done teaching my first online course. It was a whirlwind to write it, promote it, and teach it. The whole time I felt very confident with what I wanted to say, but very nervous about implementing it.
Here are 3 lessons I learned from presenting my first course:
- My students have all the answers: Anytime I got to chat with someone that enrolled in the course I listened diligently. They helped guide what I would focus on in lessons and gave me tons of ideas for future courses and videos.
- It starts with people you know: Looking at the 7 parents that enrolled, I was amazed by the 6 degrees of separation. Only 2 of them were "strangers." The rest were parents I had taken consult calls with, friends of friends, and people I knew from networking. I have more of a village than I even realized, and I'm so grateful.
- I want to do this again: It felt really good to teach again. I can't wait to teach this class again and launch more courses. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on through this experience!
