Assist Computers and Communication Skills

In rural India computers are replacing paper systems and traditional methods for information storage and communication. Learning computer skills is becoming increasingly important to enable student's entry to further study and employment, keeping them up to date, in touch and involved.

Join iSpiice to teach computer skills to students from primary age to adult lessons. Work with students who have little or no knowledge of computers – teaching things such as switching on the computer, using the mouse, managing different windows or word processing skills. For those students who already have some knowledge of computers – compliment their studies and teach intermediate skills such as using  internet, writing emails, spread sheets, create presentations, printing documents and how to connect with computer devices.

Learning about computers is exciting and sometimes challenging for those who have little experience or opportunity to use them. Show students that with regular use, computers are easy and fun and not only used for work purposes but for recreation and as a self-learning tool too.
