REPORTS FROM LEARNERS |
"I enjoy working on the computer because I can work at my own pace. My spelling has improved a lot since I started working on the computer. One other thing I really enjoy is I am learning a little bit about computers. I have one at home but I don't know much about them so this is helpful in that way also. I also enjoy doing math on the computer. I can take my time and make sure I understand and if I don't then Cindy will help me. It's nice to be able to go to the computer and get away from everybody else." Tina, Invest Computer Centre |
