Thank you for considering Best 4 Beginners Computer Training : Why We Are Successfully Different...
We
have a special philosophy of teaching seniors, technophobes,
and absolute beginners. Most who have not yet acquired
basic computer literacy give the reason that they find
them anxiety-producting, frustrating, boring, or just downright
angering and frightening. Think about the teacher you most
disliked in school. Did you learn anything in that class?
We first deal with any emotional barriers to learning by
"pulling back the curtain" to deflate
the mystery behind computing with some plain English
explanations tied to things with which most of
us are already familiar. Then, when the concept
is clearly envisioned and understood, we move onto
the concrete skills associated with what we've
learned abstractly. We rely on our method of teaching
and learning how to think like a computer user
and observing the computer rather than relying
on memorizing clicks. We teach a self-directed,
self-paced, but skill-oriented "enjoy the journey"
approach to acquiring basic computer literacy.
We've seen this
approach work time and time again. In fact, we
often start groups of seniors out with our "Technophobia
101: Computing in Plain English 4 Seniors" course.
