| 373136 | 2005-07-18 23:20:00 | I've found that the worst possible method, as people become lazy and perpetually ask questions without grasping an understanding - they don't learn to think for themselves.Ditto, or because you are younger than they are, they don't really think (or possibly trust) you know what you are talking about. Some simply don't listen :( |

| 373137 | 2005-07-18 23:30:00 | There is at least one copy of "Beginners' Guide to the Internet" on TradeMe (www.trademe.co.nz) but I don't see the Email book there at the moment. Individual tutition is fine but it is always handy to have a book on hand for after the tutor has left for when one needs a helping hand to remember certain steps or as reinforcement for what has been taught. |

| 373138 | 2005-07-18 23:34:00 | as mentioned - seniornet they aren't the most knowledgable (i used to help do the notes for a tutor who would then teach the subject the next day!) some of them still teach the old MS backup, while i would show, right click & send to 'a drive'! but they would be the most sympathetic & can teach the basics of emailing. check the local papers for the nearest group |

Some simply don't listen :( You may be right Tazz, I'm always open to learning better ways to do things, but in my case I happen to be older than all of those that I've referred to, which might give me a better understanding of how to present things to them........and maybe they can trust me a little more than a much younger tutor. :-)) Two of my most difficult successes had spent quite a lot of time with local "professional" tutor and got nowhere. and for Greg....those that don't make an effort get three strikes and they're out, (or sometimes four or five or six if I can see that they're trying). ;-)) ( Grandad ) brig |
