Here I have much to learn. The fear of standing still while the world is turning scares the hell out of me. I don't want to be left behind. Having said this, I many times cannot understand how others are so calm and collected about not using ICT to their benefit. Yet they need others to do ICT stuff for them. All my bad habits with a good amount of fury and impatience surface when I have to convince them why they must use it. How do I set the pace for others when mine tends to be so hectic?

I sometimes makes U-turns and start again where some "toolbars" did not get used due to "fear", misunderstanding and uncertainty. Then I "pick them up" place then on the EIAWB in a new e-perspective, and then the race can continue. Teaspoon pacecetter is the ideal, soupspoon some educators managed to handle it, but the wheelbarrow with EIAWB "TOOLS" resulted in the past that the electronic cement sets in too soon before it can be applied and are left "dry" on the sides of the wheelbarrow and thus cannot be used again. So, avoid the wheelbarrow pacesetter, and don't even consider the Readymix Digger Loader Truck from Lavarga ! A teaspoon @ a time is the right thing to do and it is the safe tempo to feed the hungry.
