Has anyone with Social Phobia ever attempted something like this? Will I spontaneously combust? I honestly have no idea what will happen. Any chance of the world ending before 2012?
Yes. Since this pretty much constitutes most of my worst fears and difficulties rolled into one, it's something I've made myself do a lot of.Has anyone with Social Phobia ever attempted something like this?

Simply put: the better prepared you are, the least freaked out and f'd up you're going to feel.
ive had to do alot of teaching to people of all ages, its actually easier than most other things. this is one of the few situations in which you have control. you dont have that in conversations or anything else in life.
1. i promise they are listening as little as possible
2. ask your class tons of questions that make them reflect back to what you said, this makes them think more about their own performance and smarts rather than your own
3. if its appropriate, definately do an activity or many activities, like role playing or anything that will break up that huge block of time
4.if you really want to kill time, think up a mini project where the class can divide up into groups and make their own presentations using the information you doled out in your lecture
for example if you gave them problem solving skills, then have groups work on senarios showing how they can apply those skills
teaching 101, you probably already knew all that, but those things help me the most, hope it helps!

wow and I thought I was crazy for wanting to be a professor in my near future. 0.o Good thing to know I'm not the only one with SA to even consider something like that, not to even mention the fact that practically all of you here have experience with teaching.
but I was wondering Liberty, since this seems to be something out of the norm for you, you obviously don't teach for a living. So I was wondering, what do you do and how did it lead to having to teach a class?
But either way, GOOD LUCK! I'm sure in the end it'll be an experience to add to your list of things you've confronted even with SA...and survived =]
=D thats awesome! if this was the first time you had to do something like this and it went well, just imagine the potential you have to improve yourself! ^___^
Yeah thanks for the support. It was a comforting thought that other people with SA have done this and been ok.
