Thrilling Windows 7 with Chou!

The day started off with a little Michael Jackson -- can you guess which song? ;)

The connection of Thriller and computers is if the computer doesn't have an operating system, then they're just like zombies!

So.. in order to de-zombify their computers, the students will be installing Windows 7 with Chou~

After discussing operating systems, the students are to restart their computers hitting F12 to enter the Boot Device Menu

But before that, Chou showed another video to the students: iPhone 4
And discussed what the iPhone 4 would be without the operating system.

Next,they all got to work on installing Windows 7~

As the students were waiting for Windows to finish installing, Maddie states that she's glad that "Jose isn't the president of the world." Jose quickly retaliates and says, "Hey, I would be a great president.." and then he trails off into a story about how he and Krystal was waiting for the bus and some lady approaches them and greets them with, "Hi! I'm the laid off mom, can I sing you a song?" It was a song about losing her job and how she cannot get it back.

Soon after that, their installation was completed and they proceeded to download Mozilla Firefox and Google chrome, Malwarebytes and the Microsoft Security Essentials, and then they went and downloaded Google desktop. What came next was finding themes that interested them.

After the students came back from their break, Chou set out to teach the students about Scratch, a simple programming application that can create games for the students to play. DIY games? How fun is that!
