I think it is wonderful that you made it into a gift for their parents, rather than just more "busy work" for them to do!<br />It's nice that you have 50 minutes a week in the computer lab. My class only gets 30 minutes a week, inless we can steal open lab time before another class does! :)<br />I hope that your stuents will appreciate the skills you are teaching them, rather than seeing it as just another assignment! <br />Best of luck to you!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02736081490618301417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283339646898392946.post-70298351734424073552009-10-25T21:10:55.469-07:002009-10-25T21:10:55.469-07:00Tari,

It made me think again about what I have said before...computers don't always save time. However, the opportunity for the students to present a photo album to their parents at Christmas time is possible because of the technology and software we have available. This is a skill that they can use for personal pleasure or for a job, perhaps. <br /><br />I know that this experience for them will be one that they remember well into adulthood. That thought alone can keep you in the positive frame of mind. Keep up the good work! :)Lorettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13593927107145284430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283339646898392946.post-48863030841505623132009-10-22T11:20:30.408-07:002009-10-22T11:20:30.408-07:00Tari,

However, it is unfortunate that the computers are dated and a lot of time is lost trying to get them up and ready to go. Is there any way you can go in and turn on the computers before hand or perhaps have the computer tech do that? I can sympathize with you when you talk about students not fully understanding the program and students are confused and have many questions. Nevertheless, remember with time and practice this frustration will dwindle. Today, for example many of my students are confused although I do their assignments with them on the projector but I have to be patient and understand that many of my students have no prior experience with technology. For example, many do not have computers at home. I can recall learning adobe Photoshop and remember being frustrated a lot; adobe is not that easy to navigate. I just took all of the workload one day at a time. I am glad that you are giving students the opportunity to work on technology in order to further develop their computer skills.jramoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466451474194127670noreply@blogger.com
