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

Re: Presentations
"I have no idea how useful this thing is for anything, but it's kinda cool!" he said brightly, holding the aquarium out so everyone could see the glowy lights and little bobbing plastic fish. "Oh, wait, actually I can think of a use for it. Like, if you're pulling an all-nighter working on a paper or something, it can keep you company!"

Quickly, he added, "But I don't think that'll happen with these."
