My Bad while teaching class Thursday morning

Ordinarily, I'd be prepared to teach any computer class. However, I completely forgot that the guys from computer services upgraded our lab machines to Windows XP and with that the Office Suite. As such, I attempted to teach PowerPoint XP Thursday with PowerPoint 2000 handouts. Not a pretty sight. I completely winged today's class as I learned with the students the idiosyncrasies of the updated presentation program. I will have to create brand spanking new handouts before I next teach PP.

On a side note, I decided to tell the gentleman with the "attention problem" that he could not videotape the class on Thursday. The reason I used was videotaping the class would be an invasion of privacy on the other patrons attending the class. I'm sure my supervisor and colleagues can think of other reasons.
