wahaza extra

After an eventful on Day 1, today all teachers have a plenty of time to explore the new software introduce to them; SmartDraw  2008 – although with a slight setback, nothing would hurt their effort to acquire the skills.

With WiFi problem solved by noon yesterday, to execute the training syllabus today was less pain in the ass.

Most of the topics today required a direct access to internet using SchoolNet server. We started with Internet topics on how to create a dial-up connection, LAN and connection to WiFi. Added briefly on Firewall, Automatics Update and Antivirus topics.

Some of the teacher still unaware about their laptops antivirus software since most of them just got the laptop from their school office.

By noon, we had plenty of time to concentrate for the SmartDraw skills acquisition – we done a run through on the interface for an hour then teachers proceed with hands-on training to prepare for the big presentation tomorrow.

While teachers break for lunch; I was busy on the phone with JrJ staff complaining about the hassle in registering Teacher’s Pre-Test. – Till now the system only capture 15 teachers only instead of 28; Issshhh…

I don’t know how many more hassle we’ve to put up with JrJ server load – hopefully they able to rectify the problem by the second session started on Thursday.

After lunch all teachers continue to explore the SmartDraw – although the mistakes done by the supplier by providing a trial period instead of the full version – all teachers without doubt very much excited to use the software in the long run.
