My Expectations and Concerns Regarding My Upcoming Experience as a Facilitator

It is easier for me to voice my concerns, so that is where I will start. I don't have much experience teaching. I have done many workshops, but they were for 2 hours maximum. My class size was usually very small. Many times they were more one on one sessions. I would reuse materials so I have not had a lot of experience preparing for classes.

My workshops are not very structured, I learned early on that I had to be flexible. My groups are always made up students with different technological skills. Will this work for me know? I don't know. I know the group will be understanding and patient, but I am afraid of letting them and myself down.

My expectations, well I expect this experience to be as exciting as it is scary. I will be conquering that little self doubt that is in the back of my mind, the one that questions my ability to be good facilitator. When it is done and I have conquered that self doubt I will have grown in confidence and acquired badly needed experience.
