Meeting the Class for the First Time | Origin: ED101

I learned that it is okay to tell a little about yourself, meaning the instructor. It gives students a bit of comfort knowing their instructor has experience in what the students will be learning and doing. Also it is important for the students to first interact with each other especially on the first day of class and to also try to learn their names and have them tell a little about themselves, it brings some comfort in doing this. You want students to know they have a set plan of the class when leaving on the first day of class.
