I informed Melanie of the results I got, as I got them, by phone. I have also gotten together with her in person two times, with my laptop in tow. I showed her on the computer how to access all the sites I came across and let her read the messages from Jennifer herself. I also showed her how e-mail works, and she set up her own e-mail account on Yahoo. First I typed in the information while she watched. Then I had her practice accessing the Web sites herself. Melanie plans to go to the library to use the computers there.
Melanie needed to be walked through these processes--e.g., where to type in the URL for a Web site--as she was not computer literate at all. So, I decided bringing the computer over and demonstrating my searches was the best way to show her the results as well as make her more computer literate.
