Introduction

These guides are written as handouts that students can pick up and work through at their leisure. I hope to build up a useful series covering many of the common difficulties faced by students who are new to computing. These are now in PDF format, and require Adobe Acrobat Reader.

1. Getting an E-Mail Address: How to get a free Hotmail(R) account.
2. Working with Floppy Disks: Saving work to a floppy disk and opening it again.
3. Finding stuff on the Web: An introduction to, err, finding stuff on the Web.
4. Online Life: Ideas for things you can use the Internet for, other than games and chat.
5. Virus checking your disks: Using Norton's Anti-Virus Corporate Edition(R) to check disks for viruses.

Other Materials

I have also created some other materials, which I am posting here for my own convenience.

1. "Using a Keyboard" is an introductory module, and I've created these notes to back up existing ones, overcoming specific problems encountered by some of my students.
   1. Mock assessments - realistic practice before doing the assessment.
   2. Cheat sheets for common punctuation problems.
