It may therefore be a good idea to plan teaching and a course, with room for many repetitions.

Many people have a desire to “understand” using a computer. Perhaps it is a need and approach that becomes more and more dominant the older we get and the more alien and challenging it is what we face having to learn.

It is important that the teachers give the student an approach to the learning that is responsible, based not on “understanding” the computer, but on learning one automated sequence or series of automated courses of action.

Tell your students:

1. for example, it takes 6 automated actions to read their preferred newspaper.
   1. Turn on your computer
   2. Type your password
   3. Enable double-click chrome icon
   4. Type the name of your preferred newspaper
   5. Find and Activate the link to your preferred newspaper
   6. Scroll

It takes many more automated actions to make an omelette. Creating an omelette requires a more extensive memory process.

It is important that the teacher plans the individual training session, so that there is room for many repetitions of the clicks that lead the individual student to what the individual student wants to be able to do on a computer/on the web.
