Casa Latina

Ivette,
Brad, Klarissa, and I left for Casa Latina after class. The theme for this
week’s workshop was accessing and using emails. This week I worked with the
adult digital literacy class. I also worked on setting up the tablets with
Brad. I set up the two iPads. When I finished, a man walked in that needed help
accessing his email account. I worked one on one with him. The first step was
making sure that his computer was connected to the Internet and that it would
connect automatically. This way he wouldn’t need to reconnect to the Casa
Latina’s network again. Next we worked on figuring out his email password. He
had forgotten it. Luckily, when he set up his email, he put in his cell phone
number for password recovery. Then we accessed his Skype and Facebook. We made
sure that his password is the same for all of these services so that it would
be less likely to be forgotten. Then I had him reaccess all of the things we
discussed by himself. I hope that by doing this he would be able to access them
without help. I was also able to set his Gmail account to Spanish language so
that it would make using his email easier.
It
was great to work with him because when we started he did not seem to be able
to even open his web browser. He also did not speak much English, but after I
showed him Google Translate that would pronounce the words for him, he seemed
really thrilled about using that feature in the future.
