Last IT Lesson ... Yippee

Did you know I was teaching IT beginnings three hours a week here in Stelpe School? It is not because I wanted to do that especially much. In fact, I have more than enough to do with my present partners Software Innovation in Norway. Yet this time Yes was the only possible answer I could give the head teacher Dagmara Venclova when she asked me to to be the IT teacher. Having one was crucial for the very existence of the school, and it was important for all of us - stelpians - to keep the small country school of ours going even through the time of recession and short-sighted decisions.

We learned together, all of us, and discovered quite exciting things about the office programs, felt a little what drawing in Paint means, built our first websites, registered our first mailboxes, learned how make the first steps into the Internet by publishing a blog.

Now the year is over. I would wish the school to find a good, talented, enthusiastic IT teacher for the next year. But since it seems on the brink of the impossible to find one for only 3 - 4 hrs a week, I am afraid I will have to continue this beaten track.
