As explained in the first post, there really was no apprehension of Jay and I meeting together. The only thing that was of concern is if I can get all my meetings in on time. Thursdays seem to be a good time for us to meet because they are on a modified schedule for us. School lets out early and we have time to meet. If we counted the Thursdays I would not make the required number of entries. This was the first thing that we talked about. Jay said that no matter how our schedules worked out that that he would help me accomplish this task, so that if it took 4 one hour sessions in row that he would do it. With that worked out I was able to move forward with him (writing these sessions up right now, you can see that I am going to have to hold him to this promise).
Here is the results of our first initial meeting. Please not that all answers are Jay's
1. What are your goals for growth in using technology?
I would like to be involved in social networking (i.e facebook) and I would also like some organize my e-mail boxes,
2. How do you feel you best learn?
hands-on and face to face
3. What concerns do you have?
Privacy issues with social networking
4. How will we communicate if a session needs to be delayed or re-scheduled?
we work together, so we will talk or e-mail if need be
5. What do you feel should happen at the next session?
I would like to have a facebook account and have some pictures on it
6. Other Questions:
None
Mentor notes:
Jay is a very easy going person and picks up on things quick. What seems uncomplicated to me may not be to him so I need to be patient, one of my short-comings. I do not want to make Jay feel dumb because he is unsure if he is pressing the correct button or not for example.
