<\/a><\/p>\nToday, our pupils were an assortment of teachers and parents.<\/p>\n
To combat the gray sleepy weather, Lucille and Aziz introduced the chicken dance. ” Yay! \u00bb One of them shouted in glee. The rest of the class laughed pointing to her *preschool teacher*<\/em>, she must dance this with her class all the time.<\/p>\n The rest of the group caught on, and soon enough the room looked like a flock of clucking chickens.<\/p>\n Later once we put away our feathers and pulled out the laptops, I walked around the class, passing by Elena. She stared incredulously at the computer, then laughed as I kneeled down next to her.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t operate this thing,\u201d she pointed at the screen.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t worry, you can learn!\u201d I encouraged her. Lucille had just showed them the shortcuts Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V<\/em> to copy and paste text. Elena and her lab partner bit their lips as they concentrated on the task, finally making the magic happen. Their eyes lit up in joy, clapping their hands like a child who had just ripped the wrapper off their Christmas present.<\/p>\n \u201cThe key difference between the adults and the children,\u201d Lucille pointed out \u201c\u2026is that the children click everywhere – they learn by making many mistakes. But the adults are afraid of messing up, so they don\u2019t like clicking.\u201d<\/p>\n By the end of the day, it seemed like we made a good dent in their tech-fail-phobia: there were more and more keys being pressed, claps of success, smiles, and hi-fives.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
