Gosh.. What's up

What happened to some teachers? Why don't they learn computer and internet for success. some friends of mine are reluctant learning computer. They said that learning computer is only for their children. They don't have much time to learn computer. They are busy to take care of the children at home, to serve husband, to prepare lesson plan for teaching. I am little worried if they do not want to learn computer. So, What should you do as a friend? Do you prefer letting them in the "darkness" to helping them know computer. I have some ideas how to learn computer faster. The ideas are efficient enough for busy teachers. Just spend half hour or one hour a day. Wanna try it?

first thing first, r you are recommended to have a set of computer. However, If you don't have it, it is not problem. You can still rent a computer or use a computer in your computer course . The sooner you sit in the front of this machine, be sure you are brave to turn on it. Just get relax for few seconds to let your computer works. Search directly to the microsoft office progams through the menus of start, programs, and the point matter. Because you start writing your own document, choose microsoft word program and click it. For a moment, the computer provides you the screen of the program. Without considering any tool bars, menu files, or any comment programs surround you, just begin typing your ideas through a keyboard. Don't worry any mistakes you make. You can edit or correct it later as soon as you complete your typing. What will you do if you want to improve your typing. On thing you have to know is how to block the text. The sooner you know blocking the text, try to click any menus of toolbars, upper side of your monitor screen. You can rely on your English to understand the menu help. What you should is just practice and practice writing as often as you can. I am sure you can do it best.
How about accessing an internet? It is a very simple step. just click on the icon of the internet explorer and wait a few second it accesses. That's it. See you again.

How do you feel?

I don't know what to say in this blog because I happened a bad mood with my little friend, a pushy cat. I should have been angry with her for her mistakes stealing my food on the table. But, I am not angry. I try to control myself. I know that this pet is not hungry. My wife fed it this morning. But, she had a bad habbit. Should I kill it? Oh,no. I love it very much.

Teaching Note

D0 you ever teach without a lesson plan? How do you feel? What did your students respond? How the class run? The following is the story of mine when I taught my students withoug a plan.

It is the first time in my life to teach without a lesson plan. I have to teach the class suddenly because my survervisor wanted me to teach at a glance. I have to plan my teaching lesson in my mind in a few minutes. I have to create the methode of my teaching. I should focus the aim of my teaching as well. I am sweat. I am scared. I feel that I am not ready to teach, but I have to.
As a young teacher, I have to follow my feeling. It means that I am teaching what I feel better. I suddenly think that teaching must be fun. It allows my brain works that I must do something to create my classroom live. Do you know what I do at that time? I taught a game. It's a Simon Says game. I created the game and invited all students to stand up. Everybody stood up. I directed them to follow the game and I showed them how to play the game. They understood well. I fell quite happy because they could follow my instruction.
What did my survivor respond?
