second Sunday success

Today was my second day teaching my assigned teacher how to use different technologies online. I must say I am really enjoying it at this point. we went over some things that I taught her last time but that she was not too sure about, we also went over a few new things. the sheer look of happiness and satisfaction on her face when she understood something was priceless. we have yet to get to blogging, but it is a very strong but slow progress that I will probably continue with her after my class is over, I just enjoy it so much!

we got emailing out of the way for sure, she loves Stumbleupon and apparently has gotten the entire family into it too. they spend hours on there :) she caught delicious the fastest out of anything I have taught her so far and she loves the idea that all her faves would be saved online where she can have access to them where ever she has access to internet connection.
my email is flooding with youtube links and stumble finds that she shoots to me everything she sits down to surf... I would not have it any other way :)
I feel like I want to teach her everything and anything about computers because now I am really experiencing the benefits of doing this, it really is great to teach someone to do something they really enjoy.

can't wait tell next week's lesson !

teaching a teacher :)

Last Sunday I finally met with my assigned teacher to teach her how to use certain technologies that I have just learned myself over the course of this semester. she told me that she would be more interested in strengthening her existing skills first before learning new ones. so that is what we did for the entire day on Sunday where I taught her how to send links to websites via email, how to conduct better research, how to send and reply to emails, I also made her a twitter account and taught her about the risk of displaying too much personal information online, I showed her how to find people on Twitter and how to follow them and search tweets that she might be interested in. I also introduced her to stumble upon. we are planning to go further than this next Sunday where I plan to introduce her to delicious.com as well as how to make a blog and the things people do with them.
I would say this is very successful and I really wish I picked her (my future mother in law) from the beginning, she is a really good student and I feel great about helping her understand all of these new technologies.
can't wait tell next Sunday :]
