How to Help Somone use a Computer

If it's not obvious to them, it's not obvious.

Never do something for someone that they are capable of doing for themselves.

I think that, especially when concerning computers and technology, it is important to teach every detail, even if it seems obvious. I personally know how easy it is for students to get lost if they miss one point. Also, having students explore first for themselves and allowing them to use the skills they already have, instead of handicapping them is beneficial. There is no point in teaching them what they already know, or doing for them what they can already do, that's just frustrating and debilitating.

This applies to our presentation, because we are planning on explaining every new aspect of wiki's that we haven't already covered in class. Then we are going to have them explore for themselves and combine those new skills with the ones they already had in an interactive activity.
