Hello!
I just ordered a Dell mini-9 with Ubuntu for my 13 yo daughter. While she's very comfortable with chat, yahoo mail, youtube, and web surfing, I want to use this as an opportunity to really teach her about computers.
The thing is, I have no formal computer education myself. I mostly know what I've soaked up during the past some years of computer use (starting with an Apple II+ at age 20) but it's just a mishmash of knowledge.
Any recommendations for learning resources appropriate for a fun-loving, but definitely not geeky 8th grader will be greatly appreciated. Right now, I'm thinking of starting with the manuals that come with the mini-9, the ubuntu pocket guide, the help docs on the ubuntu.org site. But there's so much more she ought to learn to consider herself competent with computers.
Please help. What do you recommend?
Thanks,
Lisa
