PLN reflections
This was one of my worst PLN presentations i have ever had. First right before me a student did the same exact article i was going to talk about. Second, i could not keep the audiences attention not just because i was talking about the same article but the class was distracted and messing around. Along with that the audience was very rude by just laughing so much and whispering rude comments about my presentation to each other which i could hear. Along with that every few sentences the substitute had interrupted me with questions instead of waiting until the end. Also half the time the kids said i was cursing and when i said crap once when i was trying to say a quote a student who had the word crap in their quote. Also one student kept posting very rude comments on my blog and then kept deleting them. Also when i tried to talk about racism and talk about a show that dealt with that some kids called me a racist which was somewhat hurtful. My question was,"If you were in the situation of a person who was Muslim and was being harassed for doing suspicious activity what would you do?". Kids in the class said it was a racist question when all I did was ask a question. Along with that when i talked about how some professional athletes were bad influences and talked about how one wrestlers slogan was sex, violence, and drugs I was interrupted by students saying how inappropriate it was. I also did say um a lot in my presentation because distractions kept coming up. Seeing how i was so nervous i did look at my paper a lot. Just hope my presentation will be better next time.
