INTERNET SKILLS IN SENIOR EDUCATION IN CZECH REPUBLIC



1. SCONDARY SCHOOLS


The national program of Computer basic knowledge started on the 7th of February 2003 in Brno. It is a common project of Ministry of Information Technology, Intel company and the Center of Internet. The program is aimed mainly to seniors and people of middle ages who might be afraid of computers and who might be afraid of basic work with computers. The program was introduced in Brno by the minister of information technology V. Mlynár and by the author of the project M. Komárek.

Beginners and those interested in basic knowledge of computers will be able to handle a personal computer, its connection to the Internet and possibly send their first E-mail during a special two-hour course. Skilled tutors will teach beginners how to set basic functions of personal computer and how to work with monitor, keyboard and, of course, with mouse.
