| idea | The whole world can do that, so can I!
My name is Farhodzhon Hamdamov. I came to Ukraine from Uzbekistan. Half a year ago I sighed up for computer courses at the IDEA center at Rokada NGO – center for refugees. I wanted to get computer skills in order to communicate easily with my family abroad, help my children in studying.
| 28.04.2012 | idea | I was using the computer only for games. Now I am working on it!
We present you short interview with one of our students - Vyacheslav Shamota.
- Slava, tell us a little bit about yourself, please.
- My name is Slavik. I am 34 years old. I always wanted to learn computer skills, but there was no such possibility. I began to attend computer courses in mid-December, and I have successfully mastered the course "Basics of the work with the text" at the end of February.
- What did you learn useful in the course "MS Word Basics"?
- Before I started the course, I had zero knowledge in this area. I didn't know how to print, arrange and format text. NOW I KNOW HOW TO DO IT!
I was using the computer only for games. I knew how to turn on, how to turn off, how to start the game. That was all! Now I am working on it!
- What was the most interesting for you?
- It was totally new for me that by using right mouse button you can select such many useful options, about which beforehand I had no idea! When I saw the option "Save as ..." - I immediately went out from the menu, because I didn’t know what is required from me. Here I learned many new words, which for me have been previously unknown and vague: "headline", "icon", "context menu", "url", "delete", "control".
Now I know their meaning and also I know how to use them. For example, using the keys "Control" I can choose a lot of pictures that I want to send to my friend in "Vkontakte."
| 03.04.2012 | idea | I did not know anything! Now I am doing everything using MS Word.
We would like to focus your attention on a short interview with Ruslan Rodygin, еx-homeless, a reabilitant at Ukrainian Charity Fund "Social Partnership", who has just finished "MS Word Basics":
- Ruslan, tell us something about yourself, please?
- My name is Ruslan, I am 42 years old. Before I started courses in the computer class, my knowledge about computers was concerning only games level. Since the beginning of my training, I discovered more than a simple pressing the keys on a keyboard. This is a whole new world of possibilities.
- What useful information did you get from the course "MS Word Basics"?
- I learned how to type relatively fast, how to communicate with the computer, create folders and files, adjust texts and how to draw simple tables.
