I am recently starting the new semester as a tech instructor, but I am concerned about the first day of course. I want to do some icebreakers with them to get acquainted, especially since I am the newcomer and they have known each other since the start of the program. My biggest concern is unfortunately my age. I am young and I look it, but have been in the field for several years and have the experience needed to teach others. The students in my classes are either in my age group or older! On the first day should I tell them my age or leave it out? Should I 'level' with them a little more and branch out in to more personal interests to make myself seem less foreign?
