teaching old people the internet

[badkuk]

meron po ba kayong marecommend na site/training materials? balak kong turuan ung parents ko to surf the net on their own. can't think of a proper approach to it, kasi talagang zero balance sila pagdating sa computers B)

[pissword]

medyo mahirap nga yan hehe...

May mga schools that teach this to elderly people. Informatics yata has that program? Not sure.

[artpogi]

badkuk, how old are they?

[XTO]

start mo agad sa yummypinays yahoogroups site si daddy. joke!

i think start muna sa yahoo mail, then pag nasanay na mag click-click

say mga pictures ng mga apos, tuloy tuloy na yun. baka maging tsikoteer

pa sila at maging mods in the future. joke ulit

[cutedoc]

tutorial nalang siguro, kasi kung sa school minsan siyahe yung klasmate mo bata lang...

pero in some way ok din kasi even if you are aged, willing to learn pa din=)

edit: sorry double post.

sir badkuk..bakit di na lang ikaw mag turo sa kanila .ng mga basic sa internet.
bigyan mo sila ng time(kung may free time ka pa) ,
mas maganda iyon para may personal touch

If computers per se, better orient them first on the basic parts/components of a computer (mouse, keyboard, etc.). Hardware first, then gradually shift to software.

may mga tutorial na nasa CD, video tutorial yun ng ibat ibang application... like browsing the net, using win xp, ms office application.... pag alam na nila lahat yun...

pwede na advance tutorial... "how to become a hacker" hehehe

Just tell them to not be afraid to make a mistake and tell them to take things slowly and to read what they have on the screen, tell them about the help menu too!

My mom is over 60, my dad over 70 and both of them were able to adjust to computers and the internet, it takes patience and time, but they will get the hang of it...

mga bandang 70's ung mga parents ko. dyahe nga e, eto akong comsci grad, di marunong magturo :D

feeling ko wa epek ung "For Dummies" books sa kanila eh, tamad kasi magbasa

Why not teach them yourself. I think it will only take about 3-5 hrs. to do it...

hehe, kung ganun one on one na lang talaga ang katapat nyan. kung email lang naman ang kailangan nila, gawan mo na lang ng IE shortcut sa desktop na dumederecho sa yahoo/gmail. tapos ituro mo na lang kung pano gamitin..
