Conclusion

 

My teaching experience was a roller coaster of emotions, well, I started with a lot of nerves, and just being there every day, I am filled with confidence to impart the knowledge, in my teaching experience, I tried to be very kind and to maintain a tender character with I think that this was key to creating an environment conducive to teaching and learning, with which the students had confidence in the virtual classroom.

 

My advice to the teachers in training, is that they can be very kind to the students so that an ice wall does not form, and the students can maintain interest in the classes.
