How to use the World Wide Web

Yesterday was Neil's parents first taster of how to use the internet, between them I thought they did pretty well.

Both Neil and I managed to get them to open icons, type in the web address, and search around.  The only problem is with the mouse.  I feel my MIL is slightly scared of the mouse and how to hold it.  It come with time so I am hoping to get them on as often as I can now before we go.

My MIL managed to send an e-mail which she has received a reply to so now I need to show her how to open it and read it.

I will have to make some notes for them but before we go I want to see them managing it without our help.  I love throwing people in the deep end, anyway its the best way to learn.  There was one or two times Neil wanted to take over but I told him "No" as they are never going to learn that way.

The only thing we didn't manage to do was show them Skype but hopefully tonight we will be able to.

Lets see how our teaching skills improve over the next few days
