CDD Class Report Uhuru 5-15-10

WEEKLY CLASS REPORT
House of Uhuru, Tuesday, 5/15/2010

Opening Comments:
Class started at 11 am. We had a classroom of 7 students. Thus students expressed excitement over their coming presentation and had a volley of questions regarding it, and the essay.

Attendance:
We had 7 students in attendance, the 2 missing students were out on family leave, or had various other approved activities by the facility.

INTRODUCTIONS OR OVERVIEW:
The class started by reviewing the coming schedule, reviewing the discovery terms, informing students about their presentations, and looking over and assisting with essay introductions. In addition to reviewing the maximize, minimize, and close features, we reviewed the beginning of the module and covered the material with some difficulty due to the incogruencies between the text and the Operating System.

1ST TOPIC COVERED:
The first thing we did was review the basic concepts, clarified the discovery terms, and then informed the students about their presentations. We also took this time to tell the students that there would not be a class for the 22nd of May, and that they were still expected to be up to date with their assignments.

2ND TOPIC COVERED:
Participation from the students was fantastic, the students demonstrated with ease a basic understanding of the discovery terms. We then quickly went over individual questions and concerns to help clarify what the expectations of the students were.

LAB TIME:
Lab time was spent clarifying the module and opening up and working with Microsoft word. Introducing the purpose of creating a header and a footer, in addition to changing fonts, and font sizes. In combining tasks from the module we introduced cut, copy and paste, and reviewed the minimize, maximize, and close functions. Jeffery was great in using a scrapbook analogy to help students relate the cut copy and paste commands to real life.

FINAL NOTES:The students are on a great course to completing the course, and have demonstrated a incredible understanding of the concepts and operations
