Basic Computer Tutorials free online

Some people say they want to be taught basic compute skills but I am not sure that those are easy to learn on the fly in a short time or in a class at a pace for somebody. You’ll  need a lesson with some though in how to share concepts but mixed to independently practice some concept until your get the concepts behind the specific hands on procedures.  

If you try to write a procedure for everything you do that will be over whelming. Instead try to fill your knowledge toolbox with basic concepts and then apply those concepts to solve hundreds of problems.

The right experience requires, some sort plan, some visuals, and to be at your own computer so you can pause and try it out.  So learning online is a great place to start or continue your journey.  

I also suggest learning by immersion.  That means that you might listen to a couple videos that might have topics beneath you and also some topics over your head.  Blast though them anyway.   Along the way make notes of your questions.  You may find the answers if you keep watching.  Or you can see if you can find the answer later on YouTube.

Here, are some videos I found on basic computing:
