Having grown up with computers, telephones and other consoles, new technologies are part of my daily life. Using a computer seems easy as pie! However, my grandparents constantly call me to help them print a document, save a document online or do not understand the web page displayed in front of them, etc. So I realized that this which seemed obvious to me, was not necessarily obvious to someone who did not grow up with these technologies or simply had the opportunity to use computers.

So I thought my skills could be useful to more people who feel overwhelmed by these technologies.
We are going to review everything, from the beginning, there are no bad questions, no stupid mistakes, I am ready to start from scratch.

If you feel that now is the time to understand how a device works which is, today, very useful or even essential, but which gives rise to a feeling of discomfort and stress in you, then you are in the right place!

The courses will be organized lesson by session:
-First lesson, I assess your level (no pressure, everyone starts somewhere, whether it's 0 or 2)
- Each session begins with what was learned in the previous lesson, reminder of what was forgotten, correction of errors and exercise done by the student
-After the short test at the start of the session, we start the new course on a different concept or one that deepens the session before. (eg: safe sites (the most well-known), how not to be fooled by booby-trapped pages (virus), send emails, email signatures, print a document, manage files in "my documents", etc...)
-End of session summary

I look forward to seeing many of you during these times of confinement.
Take care of yourself and take advantage of this free time to simply acquire new skills! :)

About Me
Etudiante en Master 2 à Toulouse, j'aide très régulièrement mes grands-parents qui galèrent à comprendre comment se servir de leur ordinateur, tablette, téléphone... Je me suis rendue compte que mes compétences pouvaient servir à d'autre ! je propose donc des cours initiatiques à l'informatique et l'utilisation des appareils technologiques (cours qui peuvent évidement être approfondis suivant le niveau de l'élève).
Il n'y a pas de questions bêtes, pas d'erreurs honteuses, rien. Ici on revoit tout et dans la bonne humeur !

Objectif : Votre ordinateur n'a non seulement plus de secret pour vous, mais il devient votre meilleur allier.

Experience / Qualifications
Je ne suis pas experte en informatique (pas de certification) mais j'ai grandi avec les nouvelles technologies. Elle sont instinctives et les bases sont acquises depuis bien longtemps.
Je souhaite fournir les mêmes outils à des personnes qui ont plus de mal et qui angoissent à l'idée d'utiliser un ordinateur aujourd'hui alors que ce dernier leur rendrait la vie bien plus facile.

Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life and to know how to identify digital traps.

1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?)
AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality.

How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image.

Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa).

2: Using AI to make life easier
Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini):

Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter.

Summarize a long newspaper article or document.

Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge.

AI for creativity and memory:

Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E).

Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos.

3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt)
The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".

The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener".

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide)
"Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification).

Privacy protection:

Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI.

Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it.

Spotting "Deepfakes":

How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice).

Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources.

5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further)
Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI?

The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers.

The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?
