This was my first week of Tech Club, but I was placed at La Motte with one other student, who is in my class. Because I was not there last week, I mostly just followed along and did what I was asked.
My partner had a really good idea for what we could do with the students, he thought that we should have students make a digital story about their lives so that they would learn something and so that we would get to know them. But it turns out that this wasn't possible. The laptops that the school has do not have video software and we did not have passwords or anything that would allow us to get the students this software on the laptops.
Instead, we had to create an entirely new idea on the fly for what we would do with the students over the next few weeks. We spent time figuring out the computers and what they are capable of, and decided to use google maps to teach students how to recognize different places, but also focus on their interests.
Because we couldn't start on these things because of time constraints, we just helped the students do another activity, which allowed us to have some one on one time with individuals but at the same time, it kept us from doing anything technological.
