Lessons on Computer/Internet terminology

Postby rodney » November 20th, 2008 9:54 pm

I'd love to see a lesson covering some of the "basics" of computers and internet vocabulary. The possibilities are endless, but here's some starters:

Navigating from page to page - Telling someone to go to this page, the page won't load, refresh the page, etc. The buttons on the page - go, search, click here, next, back, reload, refresh.

Using search engines, how to "googlear" something.

Talk about signing into web pages, signing out of web pages

Talk about email - sending, receiving, did you get my email, send me an email, address books, mailing lists, deleting email, spam

Talk about viruses on your PC

Resolving simple computer issues - printer not working, rebooting, installing software, etc.

calling customer support and describing problems and getting the solution

Talking about wallpaper and screen savers

Downloading files

Posting in forums - registering, posting, editing a post, deleting a post, etc

Talking about podcasts. Is there a Spanish word for podcast?

Terminology for files, folders, desktop, shortcuts, keyboard, monitor, power cables, cd drives, laptop, usb cables

Good idea, Rodney. Gracias por la sugerencia. You can look for some lessons that talk about how to download a program from the internet, install it, restart and run it. It will be a three-part lesson in Beginner Series 3, which will come out in the Spring. Gracias nuevamente por contribuir al desarrollo de nuestro curso.

desde ya,
