Experience of a student teaching online

 Since I began to have approaches to teaching I realized that it would be somewhat difficult, and it's not that before I thought that teaching was easy, but one never really imagines what things are until you do it, and that's what happened to me. The first time I had to be in front of a group was when I was in my first semester of college, and even though it was only for an hour, it felt eternal, and I wondered if I wanted to do it again. It's been a while since then, and I'm still learning and I'm still nervous when I have to be in front of a group, but when I thought I was getting used to it, everything changed from being nervous in front of people to be nervous in front of a monitor, trying to explain and not getting answers most of the time.

I have to say that it is much more complicated for me to have to plan a class to explain a subject through a computer, because I never know if I am doing it right, and it is because I cannot see the faces, gestures, and actions of each student, because the activities of online classes are not made to show that, everything comes down to what you put on the computer, and there is nothing more frustrating than that. Another thing that shakes me and makes it hard for me to handle is the fact that there are things that are not in my hands, like connection problems or technical problems (whether they are the students' or mine), because I don't know when they are going to happen and most of the time they can't be fixed, so my plan B sometimes has to turn into C too, and plans don't always work.

Now I am more than ever concerned about the work of all the teachers who have to deal with it on a daily basis and still manage to get their classes done successfully because as I said before, it is not an easy task. 

I will continue to learn and I hope to master this teaching by zoom someday, but in the meantime, being half of the semester, I will keep trying.
