U-Blog 5

I have learned how to draft a plan for training workshop. Our group is on facebook. I know all about facebook. So it is easier for me to make a plan to teach people at Lowman home. I have created step by step then some details in each step. Once I done my part, I had to wait on my group to finish his part. Once everybody did their part, we will come together and revise our plan. I thought it is fun how to create a plan to train them about facebook because most of my friends use facebook and I also use facebook often. It will be fun for the people at Lowman because they can get in touch with their friends and families especially their children and grandchildren if they are old enough to use computer.

U-Blog 4

I read an article about Top 5 training mistakes. They are pretty good tips to teach us in the future about teaching others in a well-explained way. Mistake number 2 which about tune out the audience is most important mistake according to my opinion because I have been there before in Computer Science 204. The teacher assumes that we have already learn about visual basic which we really do not. He just keep teaching and move on to new lesson or chapter without us understanding them. I have ask him for help on program I was working on. He just keep pointing on screen and move that stuff from one place to other and type in string for that icon without explaining it to me. It is frustating to me so that is why I have dropped that class twice. I have learn from his teaching or training style so for the future, I will not teach like that teacher teaches and will explain better and will ask the class if they got question more often. So that way the class will understand better without getting frustrated.
