Computers & Fun #3 6/7 Wednesday Afternoon - Outside
Abby sat on the ground, twirling a black parasol as she waited for everyone to get settled. "Alright people, pull up a patch of dirt and let's get to work. Today we are going shopping! Sort of."
"Having a computer rocks, but in order to do specialized tasks you sometimes need specialized equipment." Abby held up a digital camera and snapped a group shot. "In order to let my boss back home see my class, I need to get a digital camera to hook up to my computer. Or a webcam. Or a video phone. Or maybe just a quarter inch spy cam that he could embed into a pair of really ugly glasses that would transmit a streaming video feed."
"Not that he would or anything."
Laying out a box of random accessories in front of her, Abby pointed. "In this box is pretty much everything I could find that has a cord. Cameras, joysticks, mics, flash drives, usb snowman, keyboards and tons of other stuff. I want you all to come up and choose something, research it online and report to the class about how to use it."
[ooc: Everyone should have their laptops with them or have *handwave* checked one out in the previous classes. Seriously, there could be anything in those boxes, so pick something that's a computer accessory and report on it. Thinkgeek is a fun place to look. Threads up! Yay!]
[*facepalm* Oh look! There is a tent over the computer students! It was always there! Computers are safe from pudding!]
