How was your experience teaching a complete beginner a computer?

Answer 1

I am now bald.

Answer 2

Not easy, but if you know your stuff, and a good translator of technology, it can be done, one of my previous job were to train company directors, some never even used a computer before, soon I learn the easiest way to do this is to translate things into everyday items.

ie, Hard drive = Filing cabinets
Memory = size of the desk they are on, so more memory equal bigger desk space, less filing things away, therefore more work gets done faster.

It works, and over the years, it becomes easier and you now know how best to approach them from pass experience.

Answer 3

Experience was just like teaching a little child ABC. The experience was wonderful in that she was eager to know more and more and that made the teaching easier.
