Computer training. Free step-by-step computer training course

Nowadays, almost everyone has such a device as a laptop. For example, people... They also want to keep up with modern technologies. Therefore, this article will help you understand the basics of using a laptop.

The training system is divided into several stages.

First of all, it is worth mastering some computer concepts. Research shows that there is nothing difficult about using a laptop. However, a large amount of information inspires fear about the impossibility of using the device. But here everything depends only on the wishes of the pensioner.

Mastering a laptop easily with video tutorials

Here are the first features of the laptop:

• A clear advantage among communication devices is the program, which provides free video contacts with any subscriber around the world who has a computer with Skype installed and the Internet.
• You can type text on it and then print it, and you can create a large number of copies without using carbon paper. If you make a mistake in the text, you do not need to use the eraser; you can simply delete it with one keystroke. So, a typewriter is no longer needed!
• The laptop copes well with, or done on the phone. That is, he is able to edit, correct the necessary qualities, or remove some effects.
• Using a laptop, you can send a letter to relatives or friends anywhere in the world.

As you already understand that you are a laptop user, the device itself has an operating system that has several versions. At the same time, this system is capable of performing many tasks. If the laptop is connected to the network, then it has a large amount of information that can be obtained from the results of a search query.

You can search for information on the Internet by entering the site’s email address or simply its name in the address bar. Remember, if you are looking for a site using an address, enter the characters very carefully; if even one letter or sign is entered incorrectly, you will be taken to a completely different site, and accordingly it provides different information.

The site address is always written in Latin characters. can be done using the two key combination “Alt+Shift”. Google is considered the most popular search engine. It is she who will provide a large selection of information that matches your request.

To carry out this or that operation, you can use hot keys or the mouse. They are a combination of keyboard buttons, sometimes there is only one button. This tool is mainly used by those who do not have the skills to use a mouse.

However, there is an opinion that to master a computer, at least at an initial level, it is not necessary to know all the principles of its operation and technical characteristics. Computer programming doesn't have to be stressful.

Remember that the more often you return to a particular task on your laptop, the faster your use skills will become moderate.

The most difficult part is mastering the mouse. Double-click with the right mouse button... Some people replace one double-click with two single-clicks. However, these are completely different things. Therefore, a pensioner can stop at this stage of training for a certain period of time. But in the future, you can confidently make such a click with any number of clicks.

A laptop is no longer a luxury, so even an elderly person sometimes has to turn to it for help, since typewriters and paper letters have long been out of fashion and are much harder to use. This device can perform a wide range of different information.

To quickly and more clearly learn how to use a laptop, it is better to use training video courses recorded on DVDs. For a better idea of ​​the course, watch the video review from Uncle Sasha. It's simple, easy and not expensive!

A good disk for mastering a laptop. Helped me a lot!

Alexander Sergeevich Kokovikhin, Kirov

After reading this article, the thought comes to mind that it is impossible to understand computer basics by reading these recommendations not only for older people, but also for young people. It’s painful that everything is described in such a confusing way that you can’t understand anything.

It’s much easier to gain skills through visual examples while working in programs, watch grandpa’s review in the video clip, or, as a last resort, view screenshots (pictures from the monitor screen) with step-by-step explanations.

The most realistic method remains when smart heads take you by the hand and lead you to the goal, forcing you to press the necessary keyboard keys, directing the mouse pointer for you, forcing you to click in the indicated places. But this method obliges your mentor to be with you all the time, being the most expensive of all training options.

I'm glad you decided to take the initial video course - Computer Basics. This course is a textbook, which many who have completed it already call - Computer for Dummies.

If you want to start learning it right away, then first watch the video lesson about how to complete this tutorial, you can watch the video lesson (click on the word “here” once with the left mouse button), and then return here (it will tell you how), scroll down to the content of the video course, and start studying. Well, those who want to read the preface to the textbook are welcome.

A computer for dummies, or what is a computer and what do you eat it with?

For many people who are just starting to use a computer, this “usage” is a real problem. After all, this ill-fated PC (personal computer, means the same thing as just the word “computer”, so don’t be alarmed), has a huge number of functions, and as I already wrote on, after a person finds the answer to one question, fifteen more immediately appear in its place.

One day, while teaching my mother and aunt, I realized that if a person is taught certain, basic computer knowledge, then after such training, all other knowledge will be easily applied. But how can we determine this database, where can we find such words in order to present information to novice users in such a way that computer for dummies became clear.

I decided to take on this matter and wanted to create computer courses for beginners, so that they would learn from the simplest to the most complex. You will say that everyone does this. But no. Before making my course, I read three thick textbooks on teaching computers for dummies, looked at a bunch of sites with video lessons and articles, and noticed this thing - literally from the first lesson, beginners are told what a registry is, etc. But these “teachers” forget about one thing, that sometimes a person doesn’t know how to turn on a computer, and they already start telling him what a registry is, a terribly scary word for a “dummie” (By the way, if you get interested later, you can then read it, but only after going through the textbook).

My computer courses for beginners.

Let me tell you how my first course differs from others (I also have a second course, but I strongly recommend that you take it after completing the first). What makes it different is that in the very first lesson (the first video is an Introduction, but it is not considered a lesson), we will learn, yes, exactly how to work with a mouse. Believe me, knowing this will save you from a lot of problems, one of which is when to click the mouse button once, and when to click twice (sometimes even the “old people” get confused). By mouse you will work the most, however, other “teachers” sometimes don’t even mention the mouse, but it’s what you’ll be “fidgeting” with the whole time you’re sitting at the computer.

After which there will be a deeper study of what is located on the desktop, because it is the one that opens in front of you after turning on the computer. We will talk in great detail about, which for many beginners is a rattling forest. After watching this tutorial, you will understand that the Start menu is one of the the most convenient tools, for quick work with programs.

In the next step, we will go through the tab (sometimes it is also called “My Computer”) and everything that is in it. More precisely, not everything, but what you need, since it is there some files and folders, into which even good masters “get into” due to a very urgent need. By the way, a couple of incomprehensible words slipped through - , and you will also be told about them in detail.

After which we once again back to the mouse, only now to, because it requires special attention and it is imperative to know how to work with it.

After we have mastered everything I talked about above, we will move on to more complex things such as: and. Do you think this is difficult and scary? But no, after completing the first five lessons, you will lose this very fear, which used to slow down your learning. Here another feeling will awaken - interest. This is exactly what we need. After all, what is interesting to learn will always encourage you to learn something new, and in the end, before you even blink an eye, you will understand the PC at a good level.

Well, in conclusion, I will show you how to write down anything. I think it is necessary to know this because learning how to write information to disk, with recording to a flash drive, you will not have any problems at all. A flash drive is a very necessary thing, and you need to know how to handle it.

Well, here is a brief overview of the textbook, its meaning is very simple:

1. At the beginning, we study what is the basis of the basics (mouse, desktop)
2. After which, the environment in which we will work (My Computer, Start)
3. Working with the program (Installation, and actually the work itself (using Word, Excel as an example))

As you understand, we are moving from simple to complex.

Well, all I have to do is wish you successful completion of this tutorial! To understand how to watch video lessons correctly, be sure to study this short article - (click once, left mouse button). And then you can start going through the tutorial. Good luck!

Currently, people who do not yet know how to work on a computer feel a little handicapped and their feelings are understandable. Our world is becoming more and more computerized every day. Electronic documents, e-mail, and the ability to communicate via the Internet have become firmly established in every home. Many modern digital devices are either connected to computers or are themselves mini-computers.
In a word, the desire of computer “dummies” to learn how to work with computers is understandable.
What does it mean to know a computer at least “satisfactorily”?
Let's try to define for ourselves a computer minimum, that is, those knowledge and skills that are included in the concept of computer literacy.
We list these skills in the order in which they are learned.
– learning to work with a keyboard and mouse, this will only come with time (you can train with the help of special programs);
– learn to create, save, edit files;
– learn how to install and uninstall programs (necessary for further work);
– learn how to create an electronic mailbox;
– learn to register on Skype, social networks;
– know how to protect documents and files (create passwords, keys);
– know how to protect your computer from viruses;
– know about the dangers of the Internet.
Where to start learning?
1. First of all, you need a computer (desktop or laptop, a tablet will do).
2. It is advisable to have access to the Internet (although this is not required).
3. You need programs, an operating system (Windows or Linux, it doesn’t matter), a minimum of applications (for example Microsoft Office).
You can buy all this yourself, but you can also use someone else’s property (rent, courses, ask your relatives). It is better, of course, to have all this as personal property.
After this, you can begin to learn the basics of computer literacy.
Computer training options.
1. Courses. Such courses are organized in every city and there are no problems here, they have the material base, specialists, and training programs. Therefore, we will not talk further about courses.
2. Self-study.
In this case, several more options arise.
The easiest way is to understand the computer by trial and error, but it will be better if you are “controlled” by someone who knows (it’s not a problem to find them, a son, a husband, a colleague...). Any computer program has in its arsenal reference materials for self-study. They will become your assistants not only during the training period, but also after you become familiar with the computer.
Your training will be more effective if you use special training video courses on discs.
These options can be offered to those who do not yet have an Internet connection.
With the Internet, the process of learning to use a computer will not only become more effective, but also much more interesting.
You can use the same video courses (which can be found in huge quantities), but in an online version.
In addition, there are sites on the Internet that are dedicated specifically for this purpose. Just type the query “computers for beginners” into a search engine.
These sites are entirely dedicated to computer training; the materials are presented in the form of lessons. Having mastered one lesson, you move on to the second and so on.
There is another interesting option for learning computers over the Internet.
To do this, you need to register on one of the social sites and start “living” there. That is, write comments, view photos, upload your materials. This method of learning can be called learning by doing.
You can choose any of these training options and join the ranks of users!
