FAWE Girls Had a Successful Year of Computer Training

Thanks to your support, the FAWE students are receiving the vital computer training that they need.  Proficiency in computers in schools, workplaces and in the society as a whole is an absolute requirement for success in today's technology-aided society. Exposing kids especially girls at a younger age plays a very vital role as it helps them to have the basics in computing and also giving them the opportunity to overcome the challenge of computer illiteracy at a very young age. The girls at the FAWE School had a successful school year; they worked on multiple computer skills including:

  • Introduction to computer
  • Definition of computer
  • Types of computer
  • Parts of the computer
  • Freehand typing skills
  • Booting and shutting down of computer
  • Parts of the computer (keyboard, monitor, mouse, CPU etc.)
  • For the kids to be fast in typing, the typing techniques were taught I.e. ASDF Spacebar; LKJ
  • Copy and paste, cut and paste, undo and redo
  • How to open a document and also the creation of a folder
  • How to save a document on a folder
  • How to open a program
  • Creating a table and how to work within.
  • Drawing of the different chart( pie chart and bar chart)
  • Editing of a document (font style, size, color etc.)
  • Free play to create and explore with the computer technology
