While Teaching
Context:She told me she did not know how to use a computer-I promised one hour after office everyday.
I’d let her explore. Even though I was sitting right behind her I gave her less than needful of myself. (in a theory session I ‘d explained her 0101, input output , www, hardware software, and that a computer is just a processing machine*-by definition. Now application- sitting here she was ordered to mail her sis a document). She felt ignored but then by hit and trial and with some few vague directions from me she was able to execute the task. She wrote in the mail:
Hi Didi,
The document is attached with the mail. I have learnt to attach, copy, paste etc.
Luv u.
Regards,
Name
After the screen screamed ‘mail sent’ she looked gave me a look which said proudly “Wat do you think... I can’t do it without you?!” Exactly dear- Even the teacher is absent when pure learning takes place.
*she was a little surprised by the last thing ha ha, comp was after all not magic but a logical cause- effect thingy.
