2 Steps to Eradicate Computer Illiteracy in Monterey County

​​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, offered at your school, business or nonprofit, for children and parents.

Step 1

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 titled, "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..."
​- Christian Mendelsohn, LFC's Executive Director

Step 2

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 which are mentioned in the next tab. 
"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."
​- Linda Segovia, LFC's Program and Operations Director
