[Trainer-talk] Trainer-talk Digest, Vol 104, Issue 15

[Gracie Jackson]

Nikki,
As an LCB alumni also I would highly recommend the ATI blind training with Cathy Anne Murtha which I am now a student in her class and loving it. I believe you will gain great confidence in learning concepts and hands on learning. You and your students will benefit greatly; just my personal opinion. But I must say it is working quite well for me.

I was recently hired as an adaptive technology instructor for a structured discovery training center and this is a job I am slowly beginning to love. I never imagined that I could teach technology, but things seem to be  working out thus far. Although I love working with students and watching them progress in the class, sometimes I still feel very unsure of myself in regards to my teaching style and technique. My background is in speech communication and I just learned how to use adaptive technology about four years ago at LCB so I am constantly second guessing myself because I lack experience in many areas. I really want my students to get as much as they possibly can from their training and graduate with a desire to further their knowledge in technology. How can I do this effectively? Are their any trainings, workshops, or webinars that can help me? What are some of your strategies and techniques when teaching? I apologize for rambling. I'm just looking for a little guidance because this is something very new to me. All suggestions and advice are welcome!
