Kim's Story

I received an official email on my iPad, asking me to click the link and fill in the form attached. I had never written or sent an email, and whatever a link was I had no idea. A few days later after relating this to someone I knew, I was informed of a computer class that I could join, and so my journey through the internet began.

Ashleigh soon got to realise how little i knew, and through her gentle guidance my fear of my iPad and the internet began to ease. We were taught how to write and respond to emails, a must for me, and also many other amazing aspects, including face time with my grandchildren, it is so lovely to be able to see them as well as speak with them. We were all asked by Ashleigh what we would like to learn and get out of our devices.

I have now learned to many useful things that I didn't even know about. I can send cute and funny pictures to my daughter, she is in a stressful job and says she can't wait to open them every work day. I couldn't have done this or even know where to find them before joining the group. Also to my husbands horror how to download apps. So far I have managed to download shopping apps and TV channels, my next big thing will be the music channel!

I did not know how much fun could be obtained through the internet, and also how much help it would be. I think that what I really get from the group is one really good teacher, a very nice set of learners where we all get on well. We are supportive of each other and always manage to laugh about something. I look forward to our weekly sessions.
