To be or not to be on screen!

Online learning is a challenge for me in the aspect of showing myself to the students.  I like to think of myself as an instructor slash entertainer in the face to face classroom.  I don't seem to pull that off very well in the recorded lesson/lecture for student viewing.  I have never been comfortable in front of a camera however I have learned how to instruct by IVC-Interactive Video Broadcasting.

The COVID-19 instruction of prepared video instruction was difficult for me.  I found myself going to fast or not interjecting enough question for thought processing.  I did find it much easier to not allow my face to be on screen while sharing content with the students.  As this pandemic continues I hope to become more comfortable in sharing myself by recording.

I feel the same way Lori, the screen (being on camera) can be intimidating.  Using Zoom and other platforms for delivery will take some getting used to!
