MEET OUR COMPUTER CLASS STUDENTS
Hello, teacher. I hope you are well.
I have learned a lot from this online course. I now know how to use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in real-life situations, and I’m comfortable working with Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides.
I understand how to create effective presentations, deliver them confidently, and focus on the key points while presenting. The lessons have shown me how to protect my computer and data, recognise the differences between Windows and Mac systems, and understand operating systems.
I’ve also mastered proper typing technique, learned what cloud storage is and how to save information online, and discovered how to keep myself safe from dangers on the Internet.
The videos you record are especially helpful. When our connection is poor and we can’t hear you clearly, the recordings let us review the material as often as we need.
I never expected an online course to be so useful, especially because this is my first one. Thank you so much for your hard work. I’m grateful that you teach us.

First of all, I would like to thank you for all the effort you have put in for us. I have learned a lot about computers.
I now know how to type correctly — one of the most fundamental computer skills. I can confidently use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, organize emails so they flow smoothly, take screenshots, create slides in PowerPoint, and build tables and schedules in Excel.
I am very satisfied and happy with your course and the lessons you provide.
Thank you.

Hello, dear teacher. Thank you for helping us through this difficult time.
As you know, a drastic change in Afghanistan forced all girls to stop studying. I was a first-year medical student when the universities closed. I urgently needed to learn English and computer skills, but continuing on my own seemed impossible. Your decision to create this computer class opened a door for us.
We have learned so much: the internal and external parts of a computer; how to use Word, PowerPoint, and Excel; how to type correctly; and even how to write and send emails.
We are very grateful to you and to everyone involved in this programme for sharing these valuable skills. Our biggest challenge remains the lack of equipment—we still do not have enough computers—and we hope you can launch more useful courses for us.

I am Hasna Heydari. I was in the twelfth grade when the Taliban returned to Afghanistan, and I could no longer continue my studies. Before this course, I struggled with computers, but many of those problems disappeared once I started learning here. I have gained so much, and I feel happy and satisfied with both the course and your teaching.
I am eager to keep working with computers to develop my skills, but my family’s finances are limited, so I cannot afford my own device.
So far I have learned how to use Excel and PowerPoint, create well-arranged slides, open WhatsApp on my computer, store files in Google Drive, and much more.

Hello, dear teacher. Thank you for creating this computer class for us girls — your kindness means the world to us.
Before these lessons, I understood nothing about computers, but through your teaching I have learned so much.
Now I can define what a computer is, distinguish between hardware and software, and type correctly. I know how to write and send emails, use Excel, search for information with Google, save files in Google Drive, create slides in PowerPoint, and work confidently in Word.
We still struggle with poor internet connections, but your patience and dedication keep us going. May God reward you for all your efforts, and may the next classes be just as helpful.
Thank you again.
