Scary....

[fluffymark]

It's before 9:30am and i'm already in the office. This is scary!

First day I need to teach, and in the morning too, and theres an evil tube strike. And I can't be late if i'm teaching. Arrrgh! I found a new cunning route into college, and it appears to be dead fast - instead of attempting to catch a bus, which are full before they even get to stratford, I got the DLR, whihc wasn't as crowded as expected, and then walked from Limehouse. And look, i'm in early! Hooray!

Still, best not get too excited until I am holding both my ticket and passport eh?

Scary indeed that we're both teaching! Yikes! That makes us both dull and middle-aged sounding! ;)

Yay! Wehn we meet we'll be be all nostalgic and share teaching anecdotes! How sad! *giggle*

Actually, I seem to recall hearing about a 'TeacherGoth' mailing list somewhere. I'm bemused to think what they discuss on there!

Oh god how sad indeed!

I guess on "teachergoth" they disscuss how to use Sisters of mercy as a teaching aid. Or something like that :) I have plans to use the Cure for 2nd conditional. And the Smiths for the present and past progressive.

Oh dear but now I'm getting all technical and English-teachery. Eeeep.

I love the DLR. The DLR is my friend.

What are you teaching? I'm just curious.

I'm teaching Java on an 'Introduction to Programming' course. The students are mostly people with arts degrees, and are now doing a 1 year IT course for a Masters, to get computer-literate. However, at the moment, most of them are clueless about computers in general, let alone how to program them!

It's very basic stuff. When i first taught it two years ago I didn't even know java myself, but still managed to teach it somehow.
