There were many technical problems in my classes today!
Today, there were many technical problems in my classes. This morning, I went to youtube. I planned to play a music video for my students to watch. I was looking for an interesting video when a few inappopriate advertisements popped up on my screen. I tried to close them but they didn't close. It was embarrassing. My face was very red. I called the IT man for help but it took him about 15 minutes to show up in my class and it took him about another 15 minutes to fix. A few hours later, I taught another class, when I turned on the computer, all the icons/folders on the screen were very big and the screen was backward. The speaker didn't work. The light colour from the projector turned from white into blue. It was not the worst part yet, a few minutes later, I got no internet connection. What a day!

Today, there were many technical problems in my classes. This morning, I went to YouTube. I had planned to play a music video for my students to watch. I was looking for an interesting video when a few inappopriate advertisements popped up on my screen. I tried to close them but they didn't (OR wouldn't) close. It was embarrassing. My face was very red. I called the IT man for help but it took him about 15 minutes to show up in my class and it took him about another 15 minutes to fix the problem.* A few hours later, when I was teaching another class, when I turned on the computer, all the icons/folders on the screen were very big and the screen was backward. The speaker didn't work. The light colour from the projector turned from white into blue.That was not the worst part: a few minutes later, there was no internet connection.** What a day!*You could leave your sentence the way it was but it took him about 15 minutes to show up and about another 15 minutes to fix the problem" is just more concise and more natural-sounding
** you could also say "I had no internet connection" or "The internet connection was gone" or "I couldn't get an internet connection" or "A few minutes later, I lost the internet connection/the internet connection was lost"
