THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your responses to my question about tech basics no teacher should be without. From the number of enthusiastic responses, I am thinking this is a resource that will be able to be used by many. (And I already have two workshops scheduled that I’m planning to use this for…so the clock is ticking.:)
Obviously, there were more ideas than I can reasonably do videos for in the short-term, so here is a list of what I’ll tackle first:
General
File management
Browser skills
|
And here are other that I’ll have to save for another time:
- Using help features
- Resizing images/image editing
- Hardware troubleshooting (rebooting, checking cable connections)
- Computer maintenance (defrag, backing up, etc.)
- How to change screen resolution
- Changing the audio volume level
- Installing and uninstalling apps
- Hard drive space
- Identifying file types (extensions, etc.)
- Effective search techniques
- Web site evaluation
- Social bookmarking
- Selecting the best app for the job
- Burning a CD
- How to use a USB drive (inc. how to remove safely)
- Connecting to wireless
And two more humongous ones:
- Information literacy
- Problem solving
Look for an update (with some videos) on these in a couple weeks!
