Thank you for your efforts today. There was a lot to absorb, but thank goodness for able women… including Andrew (tee hee!).
I learned a great deal, and even experimented outside of Vanessa and Kerry’s directions when making a shared video for the blog: that’s a big step forward in confidence for me!
I believe it’d be useful to:
1. set a couple of “Homework” exercises/ follow ups / form a Checklist
2. do a quick “warm up” at the beginning every new Session, where we collectively demonstrate some of the new skills acquired. That would marginally create LESS QUANTITY, but arguably MORE QUALITY.
I do not believe ALL learners Navigate computers comfortably, or know all of the basic Keys, icons, buttons or shortcuts. Would a PRINTED PAGE of useful DIAGRAMS per session (no more than 6x examples!) be useful?
– I am for instance not a touch typist, and plod through keys and typing – but do get there! But that creates a schism – while I am typing, I cannot hear all ongoing recommendations. So it is important to demo exercises/ shortcuts etc. but ALWAYS follow up.

Kerry I look forward to some useful extra Tuition re students sending me multiple images: thus far it has been by gmail, very clunky and laboured. I also need to be able to Edit/ Print those sent images with least mucking around- so I am open to useful suggestions re Drive etc?
