The second class at Hayes Valley Learning center was just as good as the first! One women didn’t show up, but another eager student took her seat. We quickly got him up to speed by helping him register for an email account. The students exchanged email addresses and sent each other messages. We talked about the different folders that email has and what it’s for. We even talked about spam which is one of my favorite topics because the jokes around spam are great!

We moved onto Google and did a couple of searches as a group. I have them look for kids activities San Francisco free. Many of the students have or work with children, so I thought this search was appropriate. They spend the next 20 minutes doing searches of there own; one research local gyms, another was looking for articles about the drill team she coaches and another found a website that allows you to build your own motorcycle.

Then they discovered Google maps with the street view function and went crazy. I really wanted to show them Google Earth, but we have installed that program yet. There are so many fun things to learn! I can’t wait until we start blogging!
