Another tutorial - Clear Internet

Earlier, in January 2013, I wrote about the "Clear Internet" project , created by the Ministry social policy Nizhny Novgorod region powered by Google. It still exists safely. And there you can download it for free e-book"Clear Internet", also in pdf format, which I wrote about in

The Pension Fund jointly with Rostelecom have published a textbook for pensioners.

“We want all people of the older generation to master the basic skills of working on a computer and the Internet,” - this was the task set by the developers of the federal project.

The project is aimed at implementing one of the presidential decrees, according to which, in four years, 70% of all public services should be provided to Russians in electronic form.

"Alphabet of the Internet" is a charitable project. Anyone can download the textbook for free at website

One of the goals of creating the textbook was to make it easier for older people to find information and access government services, many of which they can order from the comfort of their homes. The Internet portal has a tab for the visually impaired.

Teachers of informatics, psychologists, gerontologists and pedagogical methodologists worked on the creation of the teaching aid. Thus, the resulting manual is maximally adapted to the perception of people of a respectable age. The information is presented in an accessible form and without the use of heavy terminology, so that the elderly "student" does not have additional questions. The textbook will teach a pensioner primary computer skills, help to master the Internet.

Subject to copyright protection, the creators of the manual agree to make it available for distribution on library websites. And in the section "Questions and Answers" you can find out how best to organize classes for the elderly, where the textbook "The ABC of the Internet" can be used free of charge.

The organizers of the project of teaching computer literacy "Grandma and Grandpa Online" have already become interested in the new textbook, they plan to provide their participants with this textbook. The Pension Fund and Rostelecom hope that the project will be widely disseminated and the textbook will be convenient for the elderly.

Greetings, dear reader! Today I wanted to talk about the project "".

Online retirees

The Internet has expanded the boundaries of our world, and we need a computer to learn a new source of information. The younger generation is brave and actively uses it for their own purposes. The same cannot be said about the older generation of people who have retired. Based on the research results of the analytical division of the Department information technologies the city of Moscow, the share of Internet users aged 50 and over was 28% in 2015 and is currently only increasing.

According to the results of the study, popular Internet opportunities among older generation users are reading news, using information retrieval services, watching movies and using communication services. Many Muscovites of retirement age actively order goods in online stores, making purchases from a computer, preferring to pay when receiving in cash.

The share of pensioners in the regions is still not high, but there is a trend. The main obstacle to the development of new technologies is the fear and lack of confidence of the older generation in their abilities, the lack of information support when mastering computer technology.

The Pension Fund, together with Rostelecom, have developed a special textbook "The ABC of the Internet for Pensioners" intended for older users. This self-study guide is free to download to your computer and study for free.

The textbook "The ABC of the Internet for Seniors" addresses the most pressing issues faced by most novice Internet users. Having mastered it, in the near future you will significantly expand and diversify your life. You will learn how to make video calls to friends and family, you will easily exchange emails, communicate in in social networks... You will be able to show your photos and your work to the whole world, learn to find new friends and like-minded people. Without leaving home, get government services, buy train and movie tickets, watch your favorite movies and listen to music. Well, if you still have questions, then you are welcome to my blog "Your Computer". I will always be glad to help you.

Since most people of retirement age have low vision, and long-term work at the computer can lead to rapid eye fatigue, here is your first advice:

Increase the text size of the page you are viewing. How to do it?

Method 1: Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl and + (plus)- increase the font size, and Ctrl and - (minus)- we reduce it.

Method 2: With the key pressed Ctrl rotate the mouse wheel. In one direction there will be an increase, in the other - a decrease in the page scale.

To reset the scale to its original 100% size, simultaneously press the Ctrl and 0 (zero)

In addition, many sites now have a version for the visually impaired. The toggle icon may look like glasses or an eye.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them directly in the comments below. We will try our best to solve your problem.

Assistance in mastering a computer for retirees

People of all ages are involved in modern technologies, which helps them to always stay in touch, quickly and easily pay utilities, buy tickets, make an appointment with a doctor, conduct business and friendly correspondence, watch movies and share emotions and impressions with your comrades on social networks and not only.

It's time to explore new horizons for the older generation, but they often hesitate to ask: "How to turn on the laptop? Where to start at all? Why are there so many buttons on the keyboard? Which buttons do you need to press and in what order to make everything work / turn off / turn on / open?"

And the younger generation is not always responsive to help in mastering the computer. Buy a book as a gift: "Here, read and master." But many people need a patient and sensible explanation. Without a clear understanding of seemingly elementary actions, it is difficult for them to start communicating with the computer. Therefore, it is best to watch educational video tutorials.

Especially for the blog visitors, I post several video tutorials on a Yandex disk that you can download and watch on your computer.
Here is a partial list of free lessons:

how to open video AVI, MP4, MKV and others?
how to watch videos on the internet?
how to open an archive?
where to download the antivirus?
how to open an unknown file
how to efficiently manage files on your computer?
which browser is better to use for the Internet?
how to download files from the Internet and where to store them?
how to make payments securely online?
How to use Yandex.Money?

Video tutorials are in the komp1day.zip archive and are recorded in high quality, so the size of the archive is 860MB.

It may take several minutes to download such a volume, it all depends on the speed of your Internet connection.

Appeal to the younger generation:
If you do not have time to help your dear person in mastering the computer, then give him a gift!

Friends, if the information was useful to you, share it on social networks. The buttons are below. Let your friends be in the know.

The "ABC of the Internet" became popular due to the availability of the program and educational material, which is adapted for older people: the project can easily enter every home where there is a computer and the Internet.

Here you can find a basic course, which is designed for those who have just started learning, and an advanced course for a deeper study of the most popular topics. Here are presented methodological materials to lessons for teachers. Any Internet user can download and print the materials of the program. The training program is constantly being improved and updated to meet the needs of older people.

Separately, it should be noted that within the framework of the Internet ABC project, the Pension Fund and Rostelecom regularly hold a Thank You Internet contest for Internet users of retirement and pre-retirement age who have completed computer literacy courses.

As Irina Nizhnik, head of the department, explains, there are two courses. The first - 3-week - provides initial skills and knowledge of working with a computer. In the next, advanced course, "students" get acquainted with the Internet, learn how to use Skype and receive government services electronically. Education for pensioners and disabled people is free. In order to enroll in training courses, you either need to contact personally Complex center(Agapovka, Rabochaya, 34, office No. 106), or you can call by phones: 2-00-20, 2-02-13.

Particular attention is paid to explanations of how and where it is possible to receive state and municipal services in electronic form on the Internet.
