Teach Senior Citizens to use Computers

My project was to teach senior citizens to use computers. To teach them I only went over the basics and made sure that they became comfortable with computers. I tought them simple computer usage first such as moving the mouse and touch typing. After that I moved onto Microsoft Word, and then I went over more typing, changing font sizes, printing saving, etc. After that I moved onto simple web browsing and e-mail. When all of this was complete the senior seemed to have a much better understanding of computers than when they started.

I worked with each of the seniors individually. The first thing that we worked on was Microsoft Word and all of its functions. These classes were worked on at the Shelburne Falls senior center and later on at the computer lab at Mohawk.

In Microsoft Word, we worked on everything that goes with word processing from holding down shift to inserting clip art.

After we worked on Microsoft Word for a while and the senior had become fairly proficient, we moved onto the Internet for a brief while. For the Internet, we used Microsoft Internet Explorer. We went over e-mail and simple Web browsing.
