Today when we got up we had breakfast and then went down to help teach computer class. This is a new class that BVI has just started up this year. Richard, the teacher, talked for some time about the computer and how it works. He explained the monitor, mouse, input and output functions, and many other aspects of a computer. After he was done with the introduction, it was time for the students to actually start working with the laptops the school has. I helped them find where Microsoft Word is on the computer as well as show them how to use it. For the most part they were good at figuring it out because it isn’t too complicated. I brought my laptop to show them some music, and how the laptops can play music. They loved it.
After computer class Mary, Andrew, Mrs. Wybar, George (the principal), Dan, Gerald and I all went into town to make a few purchases. We bought a lantern some blankets and fruit and vegetables for the week. We stopped and had a coke, and then went home. When we got home we started playing cards. Allan and Gerald came up to the house so we invited them in to play with us. They didn’t know how to play a game, so we taught them blackjack. I’m not really sure if they understood how to play because every time either one of them had 18 they would hit again, but nevertheless it was fun teaching them and playing with them.
