Communication

This course gave me the opportunity to face my anxiety and fear of public speaking. I was able to look at some of the reasons that I have a fear of public speaking and begin to understand that most people do have some concerns about speaking. I was able to realize that some anxiety is normal for everyone and that it actually is a help when giving a speech. I also had the opportunity to work with a group of students to complete a group project that was done on-line. Our group decided to do this project via the use of Skype. At first, I felt some of the same anxiety that I face when speaking. I felt unsure of myself with people that I did not know. When we had finished the project, I felt that I had learned new communication skills and how to better use technology to aid in the completion of the project. These skills will be beneficial as I pursue a career in education.
