Fact: Many valuable business people are less effective due to poor computer skills.

Fact: It is more cost effective to train staff in new skill areas than to terminate and rehire.

Fact: Computer illiterate staff may feel embarrassed to train with more literate peers.

Fact: Much corporate computer training is not well suited for the computer illiterate person or for those with certain learning styles.
         • It assumes concepts and skills they may not possess.
         • It assumes a comfort level they do not possess.
         • It may be too much - too fast.
         • It may not be relevant to what they need.

Our Guiding Principles

1) KISS - Keep It Simple Smarty!
2) Start from the known.
3) Relate terms and examples to concepts that your students already understand.
4) Use it or lose it! Teach something useful that students will use later! Students will reinforce their learning when they repeat and extend classroom projects.
