Another ICT training story from different angle




The ICT teacher in the Glavinci and Bunar libraries was Mr Bojan Novcic, the AgroLib Ja project contributor. Bojan developed unique authorized method of quick and easy mastering information technologies that he presented to the trainees.
Mr Novcic, the ICT teacher, and his trainees at the Bunar library
„They were total beginners and didn’t even know how to turn on the computer, they were afraid of the unknown and thought that they would never learn how to use computers“, says Bojan.
When the training started, Bojan broke their fears and insecurity and assured them that with a little will, after only 4 days, they would know things that people learned for 3 or 4 months somewhere else.
Mr Milanovic- learned computer skills and now is better than his wife
After four days of learning, they made their own profiles on "agrolib market" http://www.agrolib.rs/pijaca/clanovi , visited sites on different agricultural branches, used the knowledge from previous days and used computers with no major problems just like any other user.
Bojan says: „ Mr Dragan Milanović from Kolare, who is engaged in vegetable growing, told me at the beginning of the lecture that he was always annoyed with the fact that his wife knew how to use ICT and he didn't. He was very hard-working and stayed after the lectures until library closing hours to practice. It was seen that he was motivated to learn. When I was saying goodbye to the trainees at the end of our training, he approached me and said that he was showing to his wife how to download a document. He thanked me for my patience and dedication at the training. „Now I am better than her“, he boasted with a smile.


Mrs Prokic- satisfied librarian
Mr Gvozdenovic-a plant collector
Mrs Biljana Prokic, a librarian at the Bunar library said: „As a librarian, I am completely satisfied with all AgroLib Ja project activities and free computer trainings. Most people who attended ICT trainings don't have computers at home and everything is unknown to them at the beginning-from turning on a computer to sending e-mails, browsing, etc. Since the teacher had a lot of patience and understanding for them as beginners all the time, the trainees were very attentive and interested in what he had to say and they learned a lot. They got booklets with explanations, adapted to their level of knowledge how to use Internet for agriculture and that was very significant for them.

Mr Sasa Gvozdenovic told me after the training ended: “AgorLib is great because I can find people who make and sell products I am interested in. That's why I became AgroLib member. I am a plant collector and I am expecting to hear from people who are interested in the same thing so we can cooperate and expand our business. “
The librarian said once more that the trainees were completely satisfied with the training. „As a librarian I would like to say thanks on my behalf and on behalf of trainees for free computer training“, says Biljana.
