TBC1.1

InherIT launched its first independent computer course today. We'll be running a free 4 week basic computer course at the Toongabbie community centre. Classes will be held on Monday and Tuesday mornings until 18th November. Its a great opportunity for the women who attend these classes to learn about computers and learn about other members in their community.

Our class today was relatively simple. Content covered included basic computer parts, keyboard layout and mouse operation. We also discussed important icons and menus on the desktop as well as parts of a program window (Menu, filename, program name etc).

Our participants were from varied backgrounds with varying needs and it was interesting to work with the different groups. I think it was also encouraging for the participants to meet so many different people.
