Computers & Fun #3 6/7 Wednesday Afternoon - Outside

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

Abby sat on the ground, twirling a black parasol as she waited for everyone to get settled. "Alright people, pull up a patch of dirt and let's get to work. Today we are going shopping! Sort of."

"Having a computer rocks, but in order to do specialized tasks you sometimes need specialized equipment." Abby held up a digital camera and snapped a group shot. "In order to let my boss back home see my class, I need to get a digital camera to hook up to my computer. Or a webcam. Or a video phone. Or maybe just a quarter inch spy cam that he could embed into a pair of really ugly glasses that would transmit a streaming video feed."

"Not that he would or anything."

Laying out a box of random accessories in front of her, Abby pointed. "In this box is pretty much everything I could find that has a cord. Cameras, joysticks, mics, flash drives, usb snowman, keyboards and tons of other stuff. I want you all to come up and choose something, research it online and report to the class about how to use it."

[ooc: Everyone should have their laptops with them or have *handwave* checked one out in the previous classes. Seriously, there could be anything in those boxes, so pick something that's a computer accessory and report on it. Thinkgeek is a fun place to look. Threads up! Yay!]

[*facepalm* Oh look! There is a tent over the computer students! It was always there! Computers are safe from pudding!]

Abby blinked and nodded. "Yes, it does. Anything else you want to tell us? Like the name of it?"

He stares at her blankly. "Uh..." He looks at the speaker carefully, searching for and inscription. "T-amp...?" That doesn't sound like it's right but he doesn't really have any other guesses.

"Okay." Abby nodded. "What did your research online tell you about the amp?"

He turns her computer to show her he's not past the log in screen. He tries for a charming clueless grin but ends up just looking embarassed.

Abby shook her head. "Okay, this is what we're going to do. You go the library and check out some books on computer usage for...non-experienced users." She caught herself before saying 'dummies'.

"Then next week, we'll sit down and go over the basics during class, okay?"

He flashes a smile, he's being positive aboutg this only because she's not mad at him for being such an idiot. "I'll do that. Ya have my word." He sits back down and focuses his attention on not falling asleep.
