Laptops for Dhanushkodi: Installing Programs

By going through the laptops, I realized that one of the three I previously thought was functional, isnt.

I will bring the broken laptops as well as the working laptops to India. The broken ones can usually get fixed by the local Indian IT people, who are experts at fixing up old computers.

For Dhanushkodi, I am formulating a plan for the 3 days I will be spending there. I am going to retool my presentation from my last visit, and show it again. After that I will go ahead and start teaching the villagers how to use the basic functions of Windows.

Some programs I have installed in all of the working machines, that I will be instructing on are:

Microsoft Word

Microsoft Excel

Mozilla Firefox

Apple iTunes

While these may seem basic, this is more than most of the villagers have seen so far in the computer world.

stay tuned for updates...
