basic instruction

[Karen Campbell]

I have just trained more people than I can count through a program run by 
the Twin Cities FreeNet and the St. Paul Public Libraries.  We use a very 
simple homepage, featuring a few local sites (the public library page, 
the FreeNet, the City).  We use a very basic workbook that guides the 
user through the basic concepts: links, Netscape buttons, entering a URL, 
using a Search Engine and Yahoo.  This program takes about 2 hours to 
work through and is done in small groups, with two people using computers 
and the others watching.
