 Introduction to Internet use
Recent
research has highlighted that regular Internet users save over £500 pa,
compared with non-users, and that they are less likely to develop
Altzheimer's Disease so this group may be for you. - and we'll try to make it fun.
I
hope this potential Interest Group will be very informal with relaxed
mentoring by some of our experienced web surfers sharing tips to help
you gain confidence.
No
equipment will be needed as this isn't a Computer Group and Terry
Whitehead, chairman of the Notts CC-backed New Opportunities for
Stanton Hill (NOSH), has very kindly offered us free use of five modern
computers on Wednesday afternoons.
Introductory sessions will
assume members have no computer experience or computer of their own and
will explain how to use the free internet access available at every
public library.
We will then move on to explore how to save
money buying tickets on-line and at discount shopping sites, including
creating your own a free email address so that you can buy on-line. We
will then introduce the internet as an easy and fun way to
research any subject of interest.
The sessions will be
one-to-one mentoring whenever possible so please get in touch if you
would like to learn in this way or are willing to help others -
especially if you have any experience teaching or training at a
foundation level in any field, and like helping people.
Frequency
of sessions will depend on demand, sufficient tutors to mentor on
a personal basis and availabilty of the NOSH computer suite so please
let me know if you want to be kept up to date..
