Computer skills have long been a necessity in the workplace - especially in office, retail and even warehouse environments. But increasingly computer usage is becoming ingrained into the social fabric of lives outside of the workplace. Without access to computers or the skills required to operate them certain pockets of society can quickly become isolated, cut off and unable to carry out their usual duties. How many pieces of communication do you see with web addresses featured instead of postal addresses?
Computer skills can therefore help to empower and improve independence, health and wellbeing.
Having realised the importance of having computer skills Vicnet (A division of the State Library of Victoria) have pulled together a number of really useful Computer Training Workbooks specifically for those that might be struggling to handle the ever changing computer environments.
Whether it's the basics of what the parts of a computer look like, or the first steps in using Flickr, Skype, and YouTube these guides are ideal for all levels of ability, just pick and choose the subject that you're interested in.
The 12 lessons cover:
6. Using Radio on the Internet
8. Using Google Maps, Earth and Images
12. Using Flickr Photo Sharing
Please use the links above to download the Workbook that may interest you or one of your friends and family.
