Teaching From Home. A Habit I'm Beginning To Like

Locale: Bloomington, Illinois


Week of: October 19, 2020


         This past week I taught from home once again.  This was after having spent two weeks on vacation.  Since I rarely take vacations, it was hard to get into the groove of not working, but then it was a little hard to get back in the practice of working again too!  I was just getting used to relaxing, and it was time to hit the grindstone again....


         This was a class on programming one of our two way radio brands.  It was also a class on a relatively new piece of software that allows a customer to manage their radio fleet.  I have taught each of these classes many times, but never back to back like this.  What I quickly discovered, is that we seem to deliver this backwards.  How so?  Well, that second piece of software is also used to program those radios, but there's a few differences in how you go about it.  Within the first hour of class, I realized we should be delivering that second software all along, while also showing them how to program radios.  It's difficult to explain here without going into details.  If I did that, I'd lose you rather quickly, so I really gloss over details to save you.   

In Closing

         That class went well, everyone seemed happy with what was covered, and it's time to move on to the next class.  I will spend the weekend at home, before traveling Sunday to my next class.  Til next time, be good to yourselves and those you love, and WRITE!
