Teach your parents how to use the computer

If your parents would like to learn to use the computer but you are too busy to take time to teach them or are not near them, here is a perfect tool for that.

Some of the folks at Google have been thoughtful enough to create teachparentstech.org. It provides you with a template for an email to your parents or anybody else whom you want to help. Just select the required options and then you can choose from several video tutorials that explain in a very simple way how to do things.

There are 5 different categories to choose videos from – The Basics, World Wide Web, Communication, Media and, Finding Information. The videos include teaching simple tasks like how to copy & paste, change the wallpaper, setting up and email auto-responder, attaching a file to an email etc. You can view the videos by clicking on the little arrow next to the titles.

Once you have selected the videos and filled in all the options, click on the preview button and you will be presented with a preview of how the email will look the recipient. Once you are ready to send the mail, fill in your email address and the email address of the recipient and click the Send button.

Just one thing to note though. Make sure that the person you are sending the email to, knows how to check emails. If they don’t then take some time out to teach them about sending and receiving emails. The rest they can learn from teachparentstech.org.
