On my website, Geekgirl’s Plain English Computing, I have a whole section devoted to people who are completely new at the computing game. These days, this consists largely of the older generations, but there are others who qualify, too.
It’s been a while since I updated these articles, but I have now started to do so. The first article I’ve freshened up is Basic Mousing Technique. If you are still trying to get your mousing technique perfected - or you know someone who needs to - it’s worth a read. I also explain mousing terminology, such as “drag and drop”, “Ctrl+clicking” and so on.
As I said, it’s very basic, but we all needed to start somewhere.
