We had the most successful computer class yet just because I changed the name to "Typing Class". It turns out I have more residents interested in learning to use the keyboard than the internet. I was happy to see them enjoying it so much. Many of them had experience at some point with typewriters or computers but had long since gotten out of practice so it is not so much learning as it is re-learning.
My goal for the class now is to give them as much time in the computer lab as possible. To start I printed out a list of 10 sentences which each use every letter of the alphabet and they do as many as possible. When they are comfortable with those I will transition to using the mouse.
