Today is the first day of the 12-week online public library director certification course I am teaching. While not my first foray into online teaching, it is my first certification course, and my first 12-week course. I’m not nervous. Well, OK, maybe I am, maybe a little. Here are some of the ways I am feeling:
- Nervous
- Excited
- Proud
- Prepared
- Anxious
- Apprehensive
- Happy
- Confident
And probably about a thousand more. But here’s the thing: I can do this. I know I can. And my students will learn. And so will I. It will be challenging—and that’s a good thing. Stay tuned.
What’s your challenge?
