What: This was the first workshop that I planned. I was nervous. The practicum I had signed up for had become a far more challenging task than expected. Although I had facilitated workshops previously this subject matter was less familiar to me than usual and there were 25 teacher candidates registered.

During the workshop I quickly went through the content of the lesson and then had the learners do the task.My computer was slower than theirs and I found myself waiting at the front a lot. The questions came from all around the lab and I was asked a number of questions only some of which I knew the answers to. I think this workshop was one of the more daunting experience of my life. In my current job as a TESOL instructor, I have a good grasp of the course content however, I was only just learning WordPress when I first had to facilitate a workshop in it.

Learning can be scary. My grandfather taught my mother to swim by throwing her out of the canoe into the lake. The pedagagogy of the distressed?
