Today I taught a class, it was my first time ever being on that side of the blackboard.
I got verbose and as a result, @alechahn recorded hours footage.
However since I am still fighting a severe headcold, that footage is currently being edited.
I will upload segments of it to youtube over the weekend.
As I sit here now, writing this post, I realize that these young students are the same age as my oldest kids.
Yet despite their young age, the entire group was just incredibly impressive!
This is especially true considering the subject matter was literally, "The Future of Medicine" where I spoke in my native language, English and found myself using very technical terms.
Yet one of the students even volunteered her services as interpreter.
I was doubly impressed by this. She caught on so quick! And despite my rapid fire speaking style, she repeated basically verbatim, everything I said in Spanish. She even waited patiently for me to finish, what at one point was 15 minutes of continuous thought! Then said the same thing concept for concept!
Needless to say, I've given her the task of being the "voice of the group" and introducing the students.
Her name is Hilary and she will be blogging here as @hilpollo
If you want to know what the future of medicine is like
Follow @hilpollo and her class.
My role as an educator is over now. I hope I did alright.
At the end of class I concluded by registering all the students present today to steemit.
More will follow.
Since this was my class to teach, I gave the assignment to go home and blog about themselves over the weekend. You will be seeing them pouring in, please make sure to give them a warm welcome.
I didn't give them much prompting or training on steemit, because this really is something unique in the world and I want to watch them learn and explore.
@hilpollo will be doing the introductions and I'm sure Dr Padilla will be blogging about them as well.
But I just wanted to be the first to show you what the future of medicine looks like.
It's very bright!
