Introducing the Community Classroom!

From the feedback and questions we’ve received around our “Tip of the Day” posts we realised that we should also publish some entry level training for the Waiheke Community.

Hopefully we can answer some of those questions which you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask and if you did ask quickly regretted every having done so.

We have added a new section to our website which will gradually build up and hopefully provide some insight into the world of technology which ordinary people (non Geeks) can understand.

We will be posting a number of articles which will talk, at a very high level, about some of the weird terms, functions and components we IT folk bandy around and which mean next to nothing to everyone else.

We will start with a basic outline of home network, Wi-Fi and build up from there. Such things as:

·         What is my home network?

·         What is Wi-Fi?

·         What is “The Cloud”?

·         What does the modem do?

·         What is a router?

·         What is an IP address and what does it mean?

These are just an example of what we will publish for your education; it might take a different route, depending upon what the authors feel like, what inspiration may have hit them or whether they have just had a nice hot cup of tea, or not.

There is a comments section below each post where you can ask for clarification or more information for each topic, as well as space under this post itself.

If you have anything specific that you would like us to address then please add it in the comments section below this introduction post
