Hi everyone,

I'm currently teaching long term unemployed and people over 50's how to use the internet. Most of my students are not confident, most of them never used the internet before. I'm trying to help to narrow the digital devide providing some insight into the digital world, oportunities for work, online shopping, networking, all that I would like to know if there's a oficial learning program from firefox org. that I could download and pass it on to my students.

Many thanks
