You might be new to working online, or you may have a lot of experience online with smartphones, but you're learning how to accomplish tasks on laptops or desktop computers. If the thought of working online seems intimidating to you, or if you have felt frustrated with previous attempts to learn these skills, consider this insight from a talented digital literacy coach in Kenya, Grace Nshimiyumukiza. She noted that the roots of getting to knowledge are always hard and tough, but the fruits of it are always enjoyable and sweet. So practice these skills and over time you will succeed.
