I recently acquired a student…. He wants to learn how to build/repair computers, mainly as a hobby, but if he’s any good I may use him in my business…
So he came over the other day, and had a box of parts, and I showed him about jumpers and pin-1 for cables and such, and how to basically fit parts together… simple stuff….
Now when I was learning this stuff, I taught myself, and I pretty much soak things up like a sponge, and don’t remember usually HOW I learned something, just that I know it….
I realize that most people don’t learn that way… lol… Sooooo… I need a lesson plan of some sort… What order to teach things in… what are the little things that get overlooked? I have a habit of just assuming that things are obvious, or that people should just KNOW things… (I’m probably not the best teacher for that reason… lol)
So I guess what I’d like to know is….
What are the things that you would teach someone that you think are important to being a good computer builder/tech? Everything from hardware to software is what I want to teach this fella… So I need help putting my knowledge in some sort of logical order… lol
