The students

This is Crisseyda, my computer student and Spanish teacher. She's 11 and lives just down the street in Suchitoto, and she loves learning how to use a computer - in her school, there aren't very many computers and each student just gets a few minutes on one once in a while. So Crisseyda and I have explored the basics - turning the computer on and off, opening a program, writing a few sentences in Word. Right now Crisseyda's learning touch typing (OK, keyboarding, I learned in another era) from a cheerful program, the Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor. It's all been fun to experience with her, and our conversation is very good for my Spanish. We're acquiring a useful vocabulary of computer words in both languages. For me, it's good to be a teacher again - and a learner always.
