Class Log - Computer Course

[did_well_enough]

Who:  GLaDOS and all of you.
What:  Ms. GLaDOS' first class (BE THERE OR ELSE)
When: Thursday 10:00 am.
Where:  Computer Lab.
Warnings It's GLaDOS, that's a warning enough.

Well, this was it. Today was the big day, GLaDOS' very first class. Despite how she had acted over the network, she was actually somewhat looking forward to this class, if only because she wanted to study the students as well as any passerby. Besides, who knows? Maybe this would be interesting, or at the very least, entertaining. However, while some part of her was a bit excited, most of her was dreading this. She had spoken with a few of the students over the network and the majority seemed beyond idiotic. She almost missed Wheatley.

Almost.

But regardless, she had written up a simple lesson plan that would just her through this class until next week without any trouble...hopefully. She'd have to confront the hands to see if she could get an "Intro to computers" class and then a normal computers class because teaching both the dumb and the smart (if there was any) would be hell. But that was in the future, right now she had bigger problems to worry about. A sigh came from the teacher as she checked her watch, 9:50 am. Might as well get outside and make sure the brats show up. So when you walk by said lab to go inside, you'll be seeing Ms. GLaDOS standing outside the door of her lab, arms folded. She'll occasionally check her watch to see when she can go in and send any late students to detention.

[ooc: Alright, this is her first class log, so I'll be splitting it up into sections. Feel free to threadjack each other, students. And teachers? Feel free to observe or whatever it is you do.

Also, for a reference the computer lab looks like this, but bigger.]

Comments

[ATTENDANCE]

[did_well_enough]

[When you arrive at the classroom, you'll notice that GLaDOS will still be standing outside the door, and will continue to be until 10 o'clock. She'll give you a nod and watch you until you enter, before turning her attention to the hallway. Care to make small talk? Fine, but better be in the class by 10, or else...]

Re: [ATTENDANCE]

[Link ran down the hallway, charging for the door because he didn't know how close it was to ten and he didn't want to be late. She'd been very clear about how important it was to not be late. He pulled up short of her, stopping suddenly without sliding and looked up with worried eyes.]

Hello, Miss Glados. Am I on time?

[operatingbuddy]

[There is a robot sitting attentively in class.]

::Oh look, it's an Apple Kid. And he's perfectly on time.

And filthy.::

[stay_classy_cat]

[Seth is sometimes late, sometimes not. He almost had half a mind to test this teacher just to see what she'd do if he were late. A detention, he imagined. How droll.

But this day, yes, he's quite on time. It happens to be convenient for him.

Ms. GLaDOS gets a pleased-with-himself smile. It's a good day today, isn't it?]

Re: [ATTENDANCE]

[vela_nova]

[Let's see what all this is about then.]

Re: [ATTENDANCE]

[relentless_sentinel]

[Nephenee was on time, and waved when she came up to GLaDOS.]

Hiya, Ms. GLaDOS. Am ah on time?

[LATE]

[did_well_enough]

[After 10 o'clock, GLaDOS will be closing the door and taking attendance. Any late comers can arrive here, but keep in mind you WILL be sent down to the office and will get a detention. Piss her off? She'll take you there herself.]

[findthepenguin]

[Kanji waltzes in at 10:02. He didn't really give a crap that he was two minutes late, nor did he know. In fact, only two minutes was pretty good for him.]

Re: [LATE]

[after_the_flower]

[A girl walked in about, say a minute late. She learned from a mystery person that this class could help her learn how to use the computer. At this point, she knows what one is and a lot of people use it to talk to people. She wanted to be able to use it like them. So much she doesn't understand...it's kind of amazing how much she doesn't know. Poor little amnesiac humanoid. She looks lost, and at the very least, not intentionally late.]

Hello, I'm here to learn how to use the computer.

[STUDENT IMPUTE]

[did_well_enough]

[Once all the attendance and late people have been taken care of, GLaDOS will be getting up from her chair and standing in front of her desk, but off to the side of the projector. And she'll begin to speak]

I suppose congratulations are in order, students. It seems all of you actually had the basic skills to show up to my class, and on time no less. That is called following directions, and it will get you far in my class and to a lesser extent, life.

[She gives a brief pause, folding her arms behind her back and moving through the columns, before ending up in the back, skimming over every student to see if they are listening.]

Before we begin, I would like to ask each of you what do you know about computers. You all seem to be at different levels, so this is an important question. We'll start with...you.

[And bam, character chosen.]

You just asked the wrong student to open up

[notstevejobs]

I'm Apple Kid! I'm a genius inventor from Twoson. One time, I made a computer out of rice.

::That doesn't need an explanation, does it? No, of course not.::

Re: [STUDENT IMPUTE]

[breaks_pots]

[Link looked down at the computer in front of him, then pointed to it.]

You press this button to wake it up, and you move your finger on this part to make the arrow on the screen move. If you move the arrow over to this picture and press this button a screen will open up where you can press the letter buttons to make letters appear. And if you press this button, the letters will move from this part to this part and other letters from other people will show up in response!

Oh, and sometimes you have to put it's... 'cord' into the hole in the wall so it can feed on electricity or it will die because it can't move on it's own.

Re: [STUDENT IMPUTE]

[operatingbuddy]

[R.O.B. began to give a very long winded description of computer technology. Better interrupt him if you don't want him to take up all of the class.]

Re: [STUDENT IMPUTE]

[after_the_flower]

[Whenever she got back and was called on. She noticed how everyone answered theirs, so she answered honestly.]

A lot of people use the computer here. They can talk to people far away with them.

[findthepenguin]

[When Kanji gets back from the office, he sits and sulks about the detention. When he's called on, he gives a hateful glare to the teacher.]

A computer is a machine with programs that you can use to go online, write things...

I don't know, Glados-sensei, that's why we're here in this frickin' class!

[stay_classy_cat]

It's a tool to be used, and like any tool it needs to be maintained if you want it to be at optimal use.

Good thing I'm here to learn all about that~!

[Like any good liar, he actually knows far more than what he's telling.]

Re: [STUDENT IMPUTE]

[vela_nova]

A computer is an electronic device that processes human input and converts it from one form into another.

Re: [STUDENT IMPUTE]

[relentless_sentinel]

Um, you can talk to people on em, and type up things on em for class. You can look up stuff on the internet too.

[Despite appearances, she knows more than you'd think. It's just her execution of the concepts that's lacking.]

[OBSERVATION]

[did_well_enough]

[Just what it says, people. Want a teacher/staff here bored and checking out the class? Feel free to post here.]

Re: [OBSERVATION]

[raced_god]

[Today is the day for creeping on new teachers who claim to be Artificial Intelligence.

Please don't mind the tall burly dude peekin' in. It's very subtle.]

Re: [OBSERVATION]

[iamtheeggman]

[Someone is OBSERVING and TAKING NOTES.]

[He's casting dirty glances in Falcon's direction now and then.]

[CLASS DISMISSED]

[did_well_enough]

Alright class, that concludes the lesson for today. Should you have any other questions, comments, or concerns, bring them to my attention now and then kindly leave. Or just leave now, whatever you prefer.

[And then she'll walk back to her desk and sit down on her chair, before getting to work. Have a question? Just feel like bugging her after class? Want to sign up for her class but forgot? Posting here is fine~]

Re: [CLASS DISMISSED]

[after_the_flower]

[Sophie, through out most of the class afterwords, Sophie had been thinking. She had a burning question after being talked to. She approached GLaDOS' desk.]

Re: [CLASS DISMISSED]

[relentless_sentinel]

[Nephenee comes up after class, with a question.]

Um, Ms. GLaDOS? Are we gonna learn how ta type good in this class?

[She should probably learn to speak 'good', too. :|]
