I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand.....
So true....one of the great 'quotes' of Confuscus. When I reflect back on how I taught my Self to use and understand the workings of the computer and software! Having had a computer lobbed on my desk whilst recovering from a serious illness, could not even manipulate the mouse as my family stood behind me in mirth at my awkward attempts. From that day I would type in 'tutorial on (whatever)' then clicked search 'go', printed each one out and filed them in a folder afterwhich would follow the tutorial instructions step by step. By seeing each step unfold it enabled me to believe in what I was doing. By the time I had 'seen' and 'done' each step slowly & meticulously I could surely understand fully giving me just reason to cheer at the final results. Not bad going for a Senior+ now up to my 8th book title. Success! No time to get bored for me! Good luck to all who try and 'do' rather than just talk or think about it!
