How to help someone use a computer

My goal is to help them be more able to solve their own problems, let them take notes. I should keep telling myself this because there are many times that I want to be the one that knows it all... the sage on the stage. I could really relate to the rule about letting people do all the typing. So many times I when I am trying to learn something the person "teaching" me tries to do all the work and I end up not learnint anything! If I can do all the typing and understand each step I wouldn't need help next time.

We could have used this information in our presentation by having some of the students actually be the ones taking video and actually doing the file transfers. This would have made it much clearer at least to the students that were involved in the presentation!
