nina yorda, is that a tv?

So I spent the morning unpacking computers at my school and helping the computer repair men try to organize the mess that is our ten computers. They spent the day cleaning and trying to salvage our late 1990's HP and Dell models while the kids looked on completely in awe.

Absolutely no learning happened today, and while that's not completely out of the ordinary, it was crazy listening to the kids talk about the computers. Some simply asked what they were. They'd never seen a computer before. Others asked if we were going to watch tv in school today because they mistook the monitors for televisions. And the rest just pretended to type on imaginary key boards in front of them! Hilarious!

Oh, and the home screen is the most "bonita" thing most of them had ever seen. I'm excited to get our computer room up and running. We're getting there, slowly but surely, and the kids are excited to learn. So stay tuned.

xoxo
