Students Offer Community-Based Computer Classes
UA Honors College students have collaborated with graduate students studying computer science to train community members on basic computer skills.
For some, it's hard to imagine a person who cannot understand the difference between a desktop computer and a laptop, who does not know what it means to "Google it" or who can't quite get the timing and speed required for the double-click.
But some people still struggle with these concepts and the practical processes it takes to navigate a Web-based, computer-mediated reality.
Such individuals have "missed the digital age," said Cheryl Craddock, senior program coordinator for the University of Arizona computer science department.
But a group of graduate students in the computer science department has been volunteering with UA Honors College students to extend a project designed to teach basic computer skills in both English and Spanish.

“Our study showed that bilingualism in young children strengthens what is known as executive attention, which helps orient individuals in the sea of information coming in,” says Sujin Yang, formerly a postdoctoral research associate at Cornell University and currently professor at Tyndale University College in Canada. “It helps them know what to pay attention to, what to ignore, and what action to take.”
“Culture strongly influences parenting and child development. Emphasis on behavioral control and inhibition at an early age—a feature more often found in East Asian cultures—has been linked to improved attention in children. Western cultures, by contrast, tend to emphasize individuality and self expression.”
In the study of 56 4-year-olds with college-educated parents living in middle-class neighborhoods, researchers compared native English-only speaking U.S. children, bilingual children in the United States, Korean-only speaking children in the United States, and Korean-only speaking children in Korea.
