Fridays Blackboard Training

On Friday, I attempted to train 4 faculty and 2 administrative staff on how to use Blackboard. I feel it was a failure. I believe that one learns more from his/her failure then from his/her success. By this reasoning I learned a bunch. Mucho Mucho I learned did I!
After analyzing my mistakes, I learned (relearned) the following:

To succeed in teaching one must plan it out! Lesson Plans are muy muy important. I knew blackboard but due to the short notice from Virtual College, I had not considered what I would cover.
Over the past 6 years my economics lectures have become second nature to me. My strength in my economics class made me overconfident. So I accepted the short notice from virtual college and charged into B-115 without a plan.
Also one needs to know the learners' level. Are they experts? Are they beginners? Is it a mix of experts and beginners?
On Friday, I got a mix of different abilities. Even worst some were Administrative staff who had different needs (they had a great idea and I will blog about their idea later).
Back to my philosophy of "learning from failure" philosophy. Also I believe that learning is not enough! But one must correct his or her mistakes for the learning to have any meaning.
To keep true to my own beliefs, I am outlining my main points for the next workshop on Blackboard. Also I am thinking of strategies to deal with the learners. Finally, I am working on some jokes for my next attempt at teaching a bunch of teachers.
