After Lesson Blog

I have been waking up in the middle of the night for the past three weeks thinking about all of the assignments I have to turn in before the semester is over and I realized I did not blog about my after lesson thoughts. So, I got out of bed to blog about my after lesson feelings. I am a little late with this blog because I did this lesson a week ago. But, after I realized that I forgot to blog... I could not go back to sleep. So, here it goes...
My lesson went ok. I was very nervous to start because I was being observed and it was my video lesson. I cleared my camera and thought I had plenty of room to record plenty of spots of my lesson. But, half way through my lesson my camera was full. So when I was told my camera was full and could not record anymore that really distracted me. I kept on going with my lesson and thought to myself that things happen. It was at that point that I felt like a real teacher. I have been told by my teachers that nothing ever goes the way you plan it, but you have to be able to adjust. I knew in the back of my head that I needed to video the closing of my lesson, but I did not want to take away my thought and my attention to the students. My closing did get taped with another camera, but I feel like I did a good job by not getting to off track. I have not looked at my video or edited yet. I might think completly different once I see it. For now I think I did okay.
