Hawaii Senior Computer Classes - What's the Best Option for Senior Citizen Computer Instruction?

Hawaii Senior Computer Classes - What's the Best Option for Senior Citizen Computer Instruction?

A lot of seniors feel very challenged or even intimidated by their computers, both here in Hawaii, as well as elsewhere.

It's important to realize, despite how you might feel about it, if you're a senior and you're struggling to learn computers, you're not alone, and most importantly: it's not your fault!

The fact is, computer classes for seniors (or anyone for that matter) are really not the best way to learn basic computer skills. Aside from often being inconvenient to get to, classes aren't actually a good way to learn at all.

People learn best in short lessons (less than 30 minutes is ideal, according to scientific studies) and it's easier to learn if you have lessons that:
  1. show you step by step how to use the computer, so you can watch how it's done before you try it yourself
  2. have simple, plain English explanations that don't use a lot of technical jargon and gobbledygook -- you're no dummy, but you know you want to keep it simple so you can learn easily
  3. have an easy, no-pressure, comfortable format that lets you learn at your own pace, on your own time, instead of being forced into a class schedule which might not be the time of day when you're the most sharp and have the most energy
  4. Let you go back and review whenever you need, quickly and easily, without any extra expense
Obviously Hawaii senior computer classes, or senior citizen computer instruction of any kind in a classroom environment doesn't empower you with computers in the way you really need. So what can you do?

My suggestion is to take a look at video computer lessons on CD and online -- with the right instructor, they truly can be the easiest way to learn computers. These lessons are time-tested to work with seniors and anyone who is computer challenged, and are available for Windows or Apple Mac computers.
