Shopping safely online

Summary: This workbook supports a 3 hour session introducing adult students to some specific skills related to safe online shopping; also includes a lesson plan which provides an outline for practitioners to teach adult learners these skills, and PowerPoint slides which provide an outline for a 3 hour workshop on this topic. Skills include finding and researching products, navigating online seller flyers and websites, understanding payment and internet security, and how to deal with problems. This is part of a series of field-tested workshops developed by CBAL. Students need basic skills before participating, such as knowing the basic parts of a computer (the screen, keyboard and mouse) and how to use a mouse (double click, right-click).
