I was asked by a student today, "how do you burn a CD unto a desktop?" First of all I was unfamiliar with the computer model she had, then I was not sure how to use the version of the programme that was on the computer as the music player, finally I said, "well just select the option rip to library."
Inside my head all I could hear was, HELP! A simple question at once was asking me to perform one of the most complex tasks in my life.
I remember using Widows Media Player on my Compaq Presario HP computer, to burn a cd to another cd, dragging copy pasting from a cd unto the computer, and also sending music to my desktop music file.
Well, I must say, it is very important that whatever knowledge and skill that may be adquired about the use of ICT should also make a person flexible in using any ICT equipment at anytime.
Everyday you live, you learn, what there is still for you to learn. For me - alot!
Ah Terry-Ann I smiled when I read this post. How often do we as teachers feel panicked by our students' questions. I find that there is no shame in saying to a class of teenagers, "Can someone help us with a problem here...." They love to be able to help and you will be surprised to find you may have some very skilled learners. We are all life-long learners and our students respect that. Enjoy the rest of the module. Your blog is looking good.
