Welcome To Tips For Computer Teachers!

"I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user." - Bill Gates

Some days, it seems as though we have an impossible job: stay up-to-date with the latest technology, and then share it with others. And let's be honest, the moment the latest technology comes out, the newest update is right behind it. It's an endless cycle of adapt or die.

I teach a variety of classes--QuickBooks, Facebook Marketing, Beginning and Advanced Computers-- for Northeast Technology Center in Oklahoma and come into contact with people from all walks of life. And they have taught me a great deal about how to help people understand computer basics.

It's been many semesters of trial-and-error, but I have tons of tips for computer teachers that I want to share. Everything from how to use the mouse to how to create simple graphics in Paint. And it's my hope that you will be able to use this blog to help your students understand the computer--and technology in general--BETTER.

Take these tips--all of them are free for you and your students--and pass them along. The computer is a vast resource that we all can use to stay connected and learn. Best of luck to you on your computer teaching adventure.
