Teacher number 2!

Over Thanksgiving break Nathan and I met up with a teacher from our Junior year of high school (Mrs. Kathy). She was very willing to learn about google docs and was also interested in Skyping. We sat down with her and she was confused with the material at first but then started to get the hang of it. We told her everything we knew about both of these online tools and she was very appreciative. After an hour of mentoring she seemed to understand everything we covered. Nathan and I both hope she can use these two tools in her classroom and to interact with her students or maybe even relatives. We were very happy that our second teacher came out to be a success!

First attempt to meet with teacher

Nathan and I attempted to meet up with our teacher today but she wasn't in her classroom and she wasn't answering our phone calls. We waited at her door and she still never showed. We will try to get in touch with her again and see if we can plan to meet some other time.

I will be in class on Wednesday, at 1pm, b/c it is an even day. I
could do 1 on Thursday though? I work at Thomas Jefferson, which is
right on monument and malvern.
