Planning:- When we planned we felt

extensive planning complicated the lesson. The broader we made our weekly theme and block, the simpler it would be.

- We split the group into three.

Requirements?• At least 45 minutes – hour per week.• An open and friendly response to questions.• A curiosity to learn.• An adventurous mind.

“Tips”:- The ratio should be around 1-4 “teacher/s”: 20-30 students to maximize focus for the students.

- Planning before a session helps it run more smoothly.

- Avoid talking, just let the students use the computers.
