I love my job.
The Computer Academy is a four-week program broken into two sections of two weeks. Over the last two weeks, I was a Teaching Assistant in a computer hardware class and a video production class. In the hardware class, the teacher and I helped a few talented young people build computers from scratch. In the video production class, another teacher and I guided similarly talented young people from brainstorming to shooting to editing a short film.
For the next two weeks, I’ll be a Teaching Assistant in another round of the video production class in the morning. An awesome change, though, is that I’m finally teaching a class in the afternoon – web design, something I enjoy. I’m certain that I’ll be learning a lot over the next two weeks, likely more than my students.
We’ll see what happens.
Teach them lots of Seth Godin and Christopher Alexander!
Will do, Chris. Will do.
Glad it all went well. Much holding of breath with the ‘God’ computer, but (assuming he made it home without springing any leaks) I’d call it a triumph. At least until next year when he comes back looking to oil cool it or something.
