U-Blog 4

This week I was able to go observe a training session presented by TSTM 564 at the Lowman Home. The students conducting the learning session were teaching the residents about "How To Use The Internet". After they went over the basic lecture they let the residents surf around the web working on different assignments that they believed would be beneficial to them. At that point I was able to go around the class and help out and try and show the ins and outs of web browsing.

We were there for slightly over an hour and was able to teach them a decent amount about the web. Some seemed very nervous about even attempting to click buttons. Overall they learned the basics to web browsing and how to search for things they are interested in, along with being able to go to websites they see advertised on tv, newspaper, etc.

I think now that they have a basic understanding of how to do some things on the internet, that as they spend more time browsing, they will eventually get better and better and using it.

It was an interesting experience and I can now move forward and help my group design our presentation.
