This morning I met a student of Paula White's via Skype. She and I had discussed what I would work on with her student, and I had somewhat of a plan written up as to what I would take him through to show him around Google Maps. I was extremely excited to begin this process, as I thought this would certainly help him out in regards to understanding his book project more after viewing Street views of the locations in these books.
I very much enjoyed this Skype call, as I don't often get the opportunity to use the program. We started off well, as Paula introduced me to some of her students. I then had the opportunity to work with the one student I have been gathering resources for for our Wiki. I started out by asking him to open up a program to start my lesson. He informed me that he was using a Mac, and therefore didn't have the program. After I was informed of this, my entire lesson was pretty much shot. This is when my own learning began. Throughout my entire lesson, I had multiple windows open as I searched "How to ______ on a mac" repeatedly. I feel like I know so much more about Mac computers now, (although its likely that I will never actually be able to afford one :))
Unfortunately, he was having some technical difficulties on his end, so our time was limited to only 45 minutes. I really hope my lesson helped his comprehension of the books he has been reading in class, and I look forward to helping him further.
