Help for a Computer Fundemantals Course
Posted: Sat May 17, 2025 11:51 am
So I volunteer for an Organization, which focuses on Educating Children in the Fields of STEM (ger.: MINT), ranging from the ages of 8 and 14. We in particular have a focus on Mechanics and IT. And for a while now, we see more and more Children coming to our Entry Class Offerings with little to no experience on a Computer. Not being able to Type on a Keyboard at all or use a Mouse. Even in our more Advance Offerings we get children which struggle with the Keyboard and mouse.
And therefore I have been Tasked to Design a Computer Entry Course. Which should Teach Children to learn the Basics.
I struggle a bit of what I can fit into it, as I have a max Time constraint of 3 Hours, but I can make it a full Workshop with multiple sessions if need be. But I am trying to avoid that.
The Current Idea is that the Course starts with Turning on the Computer, and logging in. Then it goes over to accessing the File Explorer and Navigating to the Documents folder to create txt file for a writing from which we then begin to Learn to write a Text that will be on the Board. Then saving the Document. Deleting it. And permanently Deleting it. (Maybe building an aspect in for Printing the Document). Maybe Add a Segment in using a Word Processors like LibreOffice or ONLYOFFICE. And maybe the Fundamentals of the Settings will come up.
But as you can see I am very early Stages of designing and Planning the Course. My Question is for any Software and advice you lot can give me to implement and Work around the Course.
