This past Saturday marked the beginning of the first milestone marker for IS101-3003, Spring 2023 and would end with a 100% pass rate ^_^
There was no bonus quiz scheduled as the focus was the first Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification exam: MO-100 Word. The class session kicked off with L3 The Internet (Part 1 of 3) http://mariasklodowska.atwebpages.com/Slide01.htm which ended with one of my favorite signature topic that I add to all my IS101 teachings: Anatomy of an Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
Chandani (who goes by Lama) followed through with her declaration from the class session prior and delivered her presentation on Ram's Adventures Part 1: Ram and the Monster, a first in a series of children's books that the young Nepali illustrated, available for purchase at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
Lama brought a hardcopy of her book and passed it around and answered questions from the audience. After I walked through my polishing process of Lama's draft version slideshow to the final version, we moved on to main event without missing a beat.
Six of the thirteen actively participating students qualified and engaged the MO-100 in the classroom. Technical difficulties forced one to retake it the following day remotely. Three more qualified two days later and joined their six classmates remotely. All nine passed! I am so proud of them :-)

Shane took the pole position with Tsz closely behind. I wonder if the remaining four students will unseat either young man from their leading positions?
I enjoyed Chandani's presentation of her actual book. How exciting to know something new about my classmate. Now I can add 'author' to my list of known persons.😉
ReplyDeleteTo be able to create and get a book published is amazing. I just love the creativity and drive of my classmates.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge milestone for Lama! I'll be sure to keep an eye out next time I'm at Barnes & Noble. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteChandani is really a kind and creative girl. It's believed that every child loves your book.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool to see one of my classmates published her own book, it's fascinating. The presentation got me interested in reading the book to my son, he would love it.
ReplyDeleteI loved Lama's presentation! It was absolutely ingenious on her part to have shared her book and used it as a marketing opportunity. Kudos to you Lama!
ReplyDeleteVery cool to know that a classmate is actively working on their dream outside of class, would never have thought that I'd share a class with a published author! Extreamly exciting!
ReplyDeleteRam climbing Mount Everest is going to be the next story. I wonder how it's going to turn out.
