​2-STEPS TO ERADICATE COMPUTER ILLITERACY IN MONTEREY COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

​​​In an effort to provide a more digitally literate, thus healthier & happier Monterey County,  Loaves,  Fishes & Computers has designed a series of sequential programming around computer and internet literacy on the Chromebook Platform. 
​

Step one ​is to attract, engage and put computer illiterate parents/guardians at ease around a computer for the first time via our innovative 3.5-hour parent and child workshop, "Computers for Families: Together & Connected."​​
We heard it over and over and found it hard to believe, but it's still so true today as it was in 2009 when LFC started: So many Monterey County residents are afraid to touch a computer in fear of breaking it. We thought, if so many people are afraid to touch a computer, then so many people are not going to sign up for an in-depth computer literacy class. So we set out to design a fun, engaging, family-bonding event that will ease families into computers in a way not yet seen by us.  After getting participating parents/guardians comfortable around a computer,  simultaneously describing and exemplifying the incredible benefits having a computer in a home brings to the whole family, we attempt to lead participating people into step two..."
Step two is to get adults enrolled in an in-depth digital literacy class on the Chromebook platform, in close proximity to where they work or live. This can be either at a local library, adult schools, or classes taught offsite by Loaves, Fishes & Computers. ​
In 2016, Loaves, Fishes & Computers recognized the incredible benefits the Chromebook platform has and decided to create the first in-depth Chromebook class curriculum in the area. Since 2016, LFC has been teaching parents at local schools, from Salinas to Gonzales, how to use a Chromebook computer in 18.5 hours of intense, condensed and effective learning over the course of 9 classes." ​​​
