I am volunteering for a non profit domestic violence shelter and many of the women who go through the shelter have no computer skills. Id like to put together a Intro to Basic computers one on one training sessions. I dont want reinvent the wheel by creating my own tutorial. Where can I find one already done that I can download and print for free?Where can I find websites that offer tutorials for teaching basic computer skills?
hp.com offer a lot of free training, (go to the Home and Office link and then click on free training) also in most of the courses you can download a pdf file for the course. Maybe you can contact hp and they will help you out to provide you with these training manuals, and maybe, maybe... they can give you some equipment to help the shelter. You never know. Good luck!Where can I find websites that offer tutorials for teaching basic computer skills?

Great Barrier Reef Fishes Name That Fish!

Here are some of the photos we took while snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. Can you identify them?I will tag each photo as Fish 1, Fish 2, Fish 3 and so on... Leave a comment to identify the fishes and I'll name them properly and credit you for it. The first one to name the fish will be credited to the fish. You can name them all if you want to. Also, if you have similar photos, leave your link and I'll link back to you in return for helping me identify the fishes.

All photos taken by me and my friends, using this camera -- a Canon D10

Enjoy! :)
