One of my favourite sessions topic is the MS Word Document. No matter how computer savvy you are or aren't - this is fun for EVERYONE and it's usually the more savvy users that take the longest time to finish! We love that by the way - it shows you're having FUN with learning!
Here are some early pics of the MS Word sessions going on and the wonderful creations spilling forth! Well done Aorere - hidden artists :)
A lot of planning and thinking, poring through Google for the right pictures ...
Beautiful faces ....
Someone HAS to do Nicky Minaj!
This one had a barcode for authenticity - except when I scanned the code - his magazine was for FREE!
Yep! That works!
Hi Foloki here, (Trainer for Computer In Homes Aorere College) It's been a great start to the project here at Aorere College.

Hello, Rose here. I'm a temp student of Computer In Homes Aorere College. Second time attending the classes & I must admit I didn't think learning about computing could be any more fun. Thanks to the trainers for such a great experience. Looking forward to learning more.
ReplyDeletehello everyone,yes it's great to be in this course and it a blessing for us parents to discover the world of computer technology and to be safe when using internet especially when dealing with our childrens at home.THANK YOU very much for your help CIH especially our two trainers Cara & Faiva

Hi everyone, Davinia here, I'm really enjoying the CIH class at the moment. I think that the Computer in Homes is an amazing project for all parents who want to learn more of what the computers can do for them and their families. Our trainers and their buddies are so helpful and I'm looking forward to Graduation Day.
ReplyDeleteDavinia! Malo!
DeleteYes, CIH is am amazing project - I can tell you that we are meeting amazing parents with every intake. I'm glad the trainers and buddies are helpful - they are there to make the road to digital proficiency a little more fun!
I'm looking forward to Graduation Day sort of - happy to see you all receive your computers - not so happy that I won't see you around classes again ... :)

Malo Cara..when i told my extended family and friends about CIH project and the rewards, they thought i was joking but also thought what a great programme for families!! I hope the schools in their area would do the same for them.
DeleteMalo fo'i Davinia
DeleteAll they have to do is ask Davinia! If they know their school is low decile in a low decile region - then simply ask the Principal if Computers In Homes has ever been through. Send them to have a look at our national website http://www.computersinhomes.org and the links to different regions throughout NZ.
Call us or email us!
Thanks for the great reviews with family and friends - appreciate it all :)
