I was looking on the net for educational resources when I happened upon this site, Basics of Computing or Computer Help for People over 50. The site is written by Shoban Shen who, according to the brief introduction, is 65 years old and started using computers around age 55.

The site covers all the basics of computers, from explaining computer terminology and how to save files all the way to tips for buying a computer. Written in everyday language, it never talks down to the reader. Lessons each have their own link and cover every possible question the reader may have, even instructions on how to click back to the main page. In the years since this site was started (2002) sister sites have been added with more information so that the site keeps pace with the savvy of the student.

The best feature of these tutorials is that they are all FREE! They are accessible whenever you want them, right on your own computer screen for no charge.

I highly recommend this site to anyone who has computer questions or just wants to know more about how their computer works.
