Tuesday, May 27, 2008 when I begun teaching the Excel basics as well as the powerpoint basics. It was actually a volunteer activity with our Manufacturing specialist and our technicians as the main audiences for this class. The series of classes will run for three weeks timeframe to cover our 2000 plus MS's and technicians.Each class will last for two hours and most of the volunteered teachers were engineers like me or if not some other employees working at the office. I volunteered because for me it was one of my way to help upskilling our operators and technicians and it is also one of my way to learned how conquer my stage fright. At least thru this I will be able to share something and at the same time learn as well.
Teaching was always a rewarding experience for me. And for this special topic alone, I was able to reached out to other employees as well. In three classes that I already teached, there were attendees who were my co-operators before and I am really glad that now I am able to share something that I learned from the fast. It was not easy to teach because you have to know where to level your teaching. In my case, I need to explain everything to them. From the very basic of Excel and Powerpoint to ensure that all were calibrated.
I have to explained in layman's term for them to easily understand all the jargons incorporated in the training materials. At first it was really hard but as I teached from one class to another I already knew how to adjust. I still have classes lined up until end of June and I'm really excited in every classes that I teached. I was even looking for more open slots for teaching. I already emailed Jho to look for another vacant slot for me just incase there were classes that dont have teachers yet. My voice haven't covered yet but I don't really care, I still wanted to teach.
