Computer Lab

Learn to use a computer with confidence. Twenty-three short lessons – parts of a computer, operating systems, memory and storage, ports, the mouse and keyboard, windows, files and folders, browsers and web addresses, searching, email, downloads, passwords, 2-step verification, scam messages, updates and backups, accessibility settings, printing and PDFs, cloud storage and sharing, video calls, shopping and banking online, privacy and social media – each with a quick check. Then practise: find the parts of a computer, mouse drills (click, double-click, drag, right-click, scroll), a keyboard shortcut trainer, a pretend files sandbox with a Recycle Bin, a password checker that never sends what you type, and a scam spotter with made-up messages. Safety advice follows the UK National Cyber Security Centre.
