As I analyzed my video, I believe that I was fairly consistent with my beliefs as an educator.  One of those beliefs is to relate the material in a way the students could understand.  I really felt that I connected with my audience when I explained how to memorize the different types of fire extinguishers (A, B, C).  I even heard several people say, “Ahh…” as I explained it.  That felt really neat!  I’ve noticed that when I teach lessons, I look for those moments where the students are really motivated or interested in the lesson.  Its kind of like watching television, either you’re totally engrossed in the plot and what’s happening, or you’re just casually flipping through channels to see what’s on.  Same with lessons, either the students have totally committed themselves to the lesson or they are just filling a seat.  I think when I start noticing people who aren’t being motivated I try to gravitate towards those people and in the back of my mind I’m thinking of ways to connect the lesson to them. 

            I think two minutes was a really short amount of time to give a lesson.  I felt totally rushed.  During the lesson I asked a few questions to the audience and I feel like I shot some people down pretty quick when they didn’t have the right answer.  That contradicts my belief that people giving an answer are really putting themselves on the line to answer my question, and I have no right to demean them in any way for trying.  I hope that in the future, even if I have a short period of time to teach people something, I can maintain my belief instead of adjusting because of time restraints.
