Here be quick summary after three meetings.
I was a bit rusty at a beginning, mumbling a lot, loosing a thought in mid sentence, talking to the board and such, but going better now. Although there is still a lot to do refine my lecturing and rhetoric-fu.
Nice bunch tho. Half male half female. Two quit after first sessions, so I’m down to 12. But these look motivated enough and I find them surprisingly easy to work with. All have Android smartphones, as suspected, and some kind of PC at home, one even brought his own quite fancy laptop.
Ok. Main problem was catch-22-like. There are required scripts for the students on the Moodle online classroom. So I had to teach them first how to log in and use Moodle. To use Moodle, they need to know how to use browser. To know how to use browser, they need to know how to use some Windows and use mouse, and use keyboard. And then you see half of them have no idea have to use Shift or Caps Lock properly, and new password is required to be highly mixed 8char. And all you can think is some muck is about to hit the fan. So long, deep breath followed. And today, After 12 hours of lessons, I finally show them how to save friging pdf script on the desktop. Haven’t even got to teach them how to copy paste yet. I would not bother to teach them cut function for sure. To risky, as some of you pointed out.
It is going slooow. Expected, but still …
