working with a group of people who areso enthusiastic to learn the things i'm happy to teach! The Exchange staff and a volunteer were getting into the spirit of putting up christmas decorations around us so for some it meant tearning them away from their monitor just for a moment so the christmas helpers could do their work!
In our class today we covered a range of topics, including:
Neville - uploading photos to facebook and further explanation of how facebook works, in particular the security settings
Ian - Accessing an ebay account and navigating around the application, more gmail tips and tricks, opening multiple tabs in internet explorer so as to not have lots of separate sessions of the internet running
Husai - practising more typing lessons, in particular the home keys asdf gh jkl;, along with a few others. I was completely amazed at Husais speed with picking up 'typing', for someone who is using a computer for the 2nd time in their life I am astounded at the fast learning. It took me 20 years to be as competent as I am on the computer and Husai will probably be up tot the same speed in another 3 classes at this rate! We also went through turning off and starting up the computer along with downloading files to save to usb
Husais 2 children - searching youtube to listen to music from their home country of Afghanistan, along with playing online games - such well behaved children!
Lourdes - a quick session in changing the deskop photo on her private laptop
Bronwyn was also fortunate enough to get a call from her brother in New Zealand, what a treat that was, and best of all the entire class kept busy working on their computers needing no supervision for that time, now thats a real sign they're really learning something! And Bronwyn was ecstatic to hear from her brother, so everyone was happy. And that wraps up this class for the week.
Until next week, over and out & thank you to all participants for their enthusiasm and good spirits!
Bronwyn
