In January of this year I enrolled for a basic Computer Course at Ara Polytech. I wanted to do this to feel more confident in the use of basic technology and to be able to guide the children in my class in various areas of technology.
The course included software and hardware windows features, file management, keyboarding, sending and receiving attachments, creating, saving and printing files.
I also started a Touch Typing course from home as I wanted to increase my typing speed and competence.
All this professional development has helped improve my confidence using computers, particularly as the children are using computers for a large proportion of the curriculum. It will be a continual journey as I keep on increasing my knowledge and ability.
One of the interesting aspects of this is that the children will often teach me new things as well, as I guide them in other areas.
I found the experience at polytech enlightening and also humbling as I realised how much there was to learn but I am very glad that did the course.
