Re: webmaker Digest, Vol 34, Issue 15

[Marc Stephan Nkouly]

Greetings to everyone
Actually I have been reading this list frim time to time but I have never
put in practice any of the acrivities as am a bit confused by all the
materials not to talk about been afraid that the participant or my self may
not have enough skills.
To make the story short I wish to know if there's any printable WYSIWYG
materials that I can try ?
Take bin concideration that the participants am targeting have basic
understanding of computer and will hardly differentiate anything.
Hope someone can guide me I promised to share pictures of what will be
happening.
Thanks

It can be an intimidating thing to teach the web for the first time. I can
really recommend starting with a group you feel comfortable with, like
friends and family. It's good to practice beforehand so you feel more
prepared and confident.

If you're interested in some activity ideas, you may like these here. Many
are printable and don't require equipment or strong internet connection.

And if you'd like help or support, you can always write to this list or to
me individually.
