Well last night was our first run at teaching computers and it was a trip. The language barrier was really difficult to get by and simple words like think or instant had no meaning to our students. That being said we had great translators who helped us work through these problems. And by the end of the night we had fully dis and reassembled a computer and got most of the parts explained.
Now all we have to do is teach them how too diagnose hardware issues which we will do tonight. Then the rest of the week we will spend talking about the software side of things like reformatting the hard drive and fixing driver issues.
We also had the first math class this morning we came in to teach them adding and subtracting and by the end of the class we learned that they were currently learning Calculus at their High School. So to say the least we have our work cut out for us as we attempt to teach Calculus to our new Cambodian friends.
Well that is all for today and in case you were wondering the pictures have been updated.
