As a part-time teacher myself, one of the biggest challenges I had recently was teaching the basics of the Internet to semi-English speakers in the Middle East. This very popular class repeatedly had standing room only, but it was a challenge to find a way to present complicated information with a ton of jargon to people who not only speak English as a second, third, or fourteenth language, but to whom the jargon computer terms we use in the US are different from those used in Australia, England, South Africa, and throughout the world. The struggle to connect and educate at the same time was brutal but worth it.

Finding methods of sharing your knowledge and expertise isn’t an easy job. Constantly finding enthusiasm to make the topic interesting is also a challenge. Robin, I salute you for bringing this passion and enthusiasm across on your web pages. If your classes match your web page content, as I’m sure it does, then your students are exceptionally lucky. You continue to make web work look simple and easy and, dare I use the word, “accessible” to anyone.

Thank you for your incredibly hard work and dedication not only to the subject but to the students. And remember, all you have to do is ask, and if you ask nicely and we have the time, we are your willing servants. Anything we can do to help teachers teach, especially teach a subject that we are passionate about, I know the industry will jump in.

So kudos and hat’s off to you.
