the EARLY bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

My job description is changing a little this year. Not only will I keep my same responsibilities, I will also be teaching a computer class at 6:50 in the morning! Jaclyn can attest that this will be no small feat. I can tell the staff here have their doubts about me interacting with other human beings before 8:00a, because I'm pretty bad then. I keep telling them that when I did student teaching, I was at school every day by 6:30a, so I can do this!

The class is split into two sections, which are then split into different units. First semester is IC3 (Internet and Computing Core Certification). It's split into three sections (don't have to be a rocket surgeon to figure that one out!): Computing Fundamentals, Key Applications, and Living Online.

During the first semester, I'll be working on getting my own certification in the content I'm teaching second semester! Microsoft Office Specialist is a series of certifications based on performance in Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access, and Project. The goal is that I'll become a Master Instructor and rule the world (insert evil laugh).

There are 10 kids in the class, all seniors. They get credit from SAU for their computer general ed. requirement. You'll have to stay posted to see how this all goes. Who knows, I might be a morning person by the end of this year . . . or not.
