Introduction to ICT/Using a computer

3 sessions lasting about 2 1/2 hours the course assumes people haven't used a computer at all, or if they have, not very much starts of with the basics - switching on, getting started helps you to understand some of the words used about computers learning  to use a mouse learning about the keyboard learning some basic word processing learning how to print you work working at your own speed

What if I can't type?

Don't worry, there won’t be much typing, but hopefully you will be happier using the keyboard.

What if I haven't got a computer at home?

Don't worry, it would be great if you are able to have a go at home, but it really doesn't matter as there will be plenty of time in the session to have a go.

What if I can't remember what to do?

My job is to help you as much as you need to be helped.  I will give out notes with reminders about how to do things. For example – how to save your work.
