Celebrating Summer 08's CTEC 102 Class
One of the reassuring things about teaching is that every few years you will get a special class where chemistry and level of interest are at a kind of peak or high. My CTEC 102 Intro to Windows Vista class was primarily made of returning workforce students, veterans, and other adult learners. Many had not been to college, at least for many years. The majority were quite enthusiastic about beginning their professional training to become a network administrator or support technician. The woman in pink next to me is a Kindergarten teacher who was taking the class to get her in-service training, so she was well-equipped to deal with us--a bunch of technogeek Peter Pans.
Anyway, it was one of those classes where you could take chances, do group learning, and have the luxury to coach and inform a group of interested students about the opportunities that going back to college offered them. Thanks, folks. You were a highlight of the sumnmer
