__My Investigation __ What can I do to help my community? I had many ideas on how I can help my community. First of all I wanted to make a website on pollution, so they have an idea on what going on around the world and how our earth is all going. This would be pretty easy if I was able to use Dreamweaver. I cannot use Dreamweaver because I don’t have it at home and I can’t use it in school for some reason. So I decided to make a PowerPoint on how to learn a computer. I did ICT coaching for my C and S, so I have a fair idea on what I am going to put on the PowerPoint. This is going to help my community because some people have finally got access to pcs but they don’t know how to use it. If I can somehow make this PowerPoint and try to get it around some people who would like to learn how to operate a computer. This would be great for our community because if many people know how to use our technology than their life can be easier and they can get a better job. Their life can improve a lot. This is my aim; I want people to have a better future and their child to have a good life. That’s why I am going to make a presentation on how to use a computer. I will have like some stages because learning all about a computer is practically impossible. How am I going to make my presentation? I have some ideas; I think I will have pictures and small clips in my PowerPoint presentation. I will also have a cool video on my presentation so they get a better physical knowledge. My design specs Have many different animations Different type of course A video An animation Loads of different information

I did some research on this what should I have or how should I teach anybody PC. I went to these web sites [] and []. I learned some steps on how to be a good teacher and how to teach properly. 1. Pull it back and affirm Some keywords are so ingrained in our culture like “keyboard” and “mouse” that this can be a good place to start. Your goal is to create a cycle of completing small tasks til mastery and then affirming. It’s exciting learning how to use a computer for the first time, especially for someone who hears about it all the time but can’t fully engage in the concept. Even small affirmation like “wow way to get that double click tempo down!” can be really encouraging and help create a desire to learn more.

<span style="font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">2. Never take the mouse <span style="font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Always talk and point and make your friend use the keyboard and mouse. You may have to demonstrate how to steady mouse or demonstrate right and left-click. After that, forget you know all the key combinations and learn how to explain verbally and slowly. You will need more time than you think. Bring dinner the first time. It’ll get better.

<span style="font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">3. Create “list time” <span style="font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">This is especially helpful if you are helping someone you see fairly regularly. Have them keep a list of things that frustrate them or things they can’t figure out. This will cut back on frantic calls to you. It will also give your friend a sense of control knowing there is a next action and that they don’t need to continue struggling with something. I had this system in place with my grandmother. I loved our list time during my visits since we had something to concretely bond over.

<span style="font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">4. Contextualize metaphors <span style="font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">With terminology, I wouldn’t shy away from words that may sounds foreign to your friend. Rather than just saying “browser,” tack on descriptive text. You could say open up your “Internet browser like Internet Explorer, the program you use to get to the Internet.” Eventually you can just drop the descriptive words once they gets more familiar with the tricky ones. That way as the friend picks up the terminology, their knowledge will be global when others jump in to help. It just takes a lot of iteration.

<span style="font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">5. Give homework <span style="font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">If your friend is learning to type, get them setup with SpongeBob Squarepants Typing or something similarly awesome. It will build your friend’s confidence while they learn. Folks learn differently, but it’s worth trying those one hour DVD lessons. Some people swear by them and you could check to see what the library has. Speaking of libraries, even if your friend doesn’t have a computer, you can send them to the local library to practice. My grandmother loves getting her email tips from Kim Komando. She gets to learn something new every day. Homework will retain your friend’s new knowledge between your visits. <span style="font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">How Can Our Computer Training Courses Help You? <span style="font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Professor Teaches computer based training courses can help in many ways.
