CDD Weekly Class Report Walden House

WEEKLY CLASS REPORT
Walden House/ Tuesday 02-15-2011


OPENING COMMENTS:
Ralph Mendoza was handling some paper work with the students when the instructors arrived. In addition Ralph introduced the CDD program and instructors to the students before leaving the class room.


ATTENDANCE:
We had 14 students in class. We started with 15 but Paul Martinez left at the beginning of the class.

INTRODUCTIONS OR OVERVIEW:

The CDD Instructors introduced themselves before the students got to talk about their Computer experience and expectations for the class. It seems that 50% of the class has very little to no experience with the computer. Soni went over the attendance rules and expectation especially the paper expectations.


1ST TOPIC COVERED:
Gritt handled the first 6 terms of the computer discovery section. It was fun. The class was very interested and asked questions. Even the students with very little experience with computers seemed to be able to understand and comprehend quickly. We used to have an open computer for demonstration purpose, which would have made the lecture even more informative and help the students to recognize the different parts of the computer.


2ND TOPIC COVERED:
Soni and Gritt as a Team lectured the workbook section “ How to use the mouse” and keyboard together.

LAB TIME:
During Lab time the students practice the different mouse function( left and right click ) plus learned plus practiced typing on the keyboard in the Mavos Beacon program.

FINAL NOTES:
Overall the class is very excited and eager to learn. At this point, I am not foreseeing any difficulties for any students.
