“Who feels as though they’d be a good resource for others?” I asked the class yesterday. A number of students raised their hands.
“You know I am the least tech-savvy person in the room so look around. Ask all of these people before you come to me for help,” I told them, laughing at my own ignorance.
Last week the class turned in the Teen Activism books. This week they are reformatting their work into a website. Not my forte.
And yet, today, I solved several students’ dilemmas.
Scenario 1
Student: Ms. Gillespie, I can’t get my pictures into my website.
Me: Remember, you have to download them into a file before you can add them.
Scenario 2
Student: Ms. Gillespie, I saved my website yesterday, but can’t find it today.
Me: Click here on “New Sites”.
Scenario 3
Student: Ms. Gillespie, I can’t create a new page.
Me (poking screen a few times): There you go.
Maybe I know a little more than I think I do.
