Tutoring idea - computer set-up/e-safety


Cora

Recommended Posts

Having just bought a computer for my son I have found the initial set-up, privacy set-up, gaming set-up a complete minefield!! I am also continually being asked can I connect, can I have a you tube account, can I have an email account...it goes on and on...I have no idea what is safe, what to look out for etc...


Our school has started to take this seriously and has done some great work on e-safety but think there may be a market out there for 1:1 or small group workshops to work through these issues with parents and children.


Maybe a course with 5/6 hands on sessions setting up your computer safely, a session on Facebook, one on minecraft, one on email etc..so we cld learn how it works and how to do it safely.


We are probably not a target market as we don't have much money but it seems to be a really important emerging subject for tutors to cover?....just a thought...

I think it's great idea. Computers have changed so much since we were young! (Anyone else grow-up with an Apple IIe?) Plus social media and games have exploded in the last decade.


Are any local libraries offering something like this? This could be combined with other basic tech skills to make a course that would run over a few of weekends, or afterschool.

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
