One part of my job is to work with teachers to help them become more comfortable using computers and other technologies.

I love to see people “tidying” up their desktops because it means that they have taken some sort of ownership of the computer. That’s a great milestone when they realise that PC stands for PERSONAL computer – be it a Windows or Mac computer!

Haha…I have the same problems when it comes to explaining to my mother how to run the PC, then again…I was in the room and I still had problems because she wanted to do everything herself. I think almost all of us have the same problems.

But ironically, I just blogged about this though. It’s just that it’s hard trying to explain to my mother what blogging is and why I tend to spend my free time blogging. It can be a pain especially when local news prints bad reps about good bloggers.
