Teach parents how to learn micro-steps and methods

Do I still need someone to teach me how to use WeChat? I'm afraid many young people have never thought about this problem. Even children as young as six or seven can now play enthusiastically with smartphones and iPads, but middle-aged and elderly people have no way of using WeChat.

Xiaoji did a small survey among middle-aged and elderly people and discovered these "rules":

1. Most of them use WeChat because of their children. Aunt Cao, a citizen, has a child studying abroad. Ever since she heard that WeChat is more useful than QQ and that she can contact her children at any time through a mobile phone without paying phone bills, Aunt Cao also learned WeChat. Sister Yun also learned WeChat for this reason.

2. Moms play more, and dads get started quickly. Sister Yun knows how to use WeChat, and her teacher is her husband. Since her wife has not yet retired, she watches young people learn it in her workplace, and then comes back to teach her again. However, Sister Yun uses WeChat every day, and her husband only occasionally posts fun jokes.

3. Getting children into the classroom depends on their interest. Although many parents learn to use WeChat because of their children, they also find things they are interested in on WeChat, such as health care knowledge, news information, various beautiful articles, etc., play some small games, and see what their friends have posted. Some status, pictures, etc.

Compare the strategies to teach parents how to use WeChat

During the interview, some parents said that young people are usually busy with work, and the elderly do not want to trouble their children with everything. Although I also want to learn how to use WeChat, I have no teacher.

Xiaoji has specially compiled a guide for using WeChat. Parents can use it to learn on their own. If there are any new features or tips, you might as well ask your children.

In addition, Li Zhiyin, director of the new media department of Zhoushan Daily, is responsible for the management of new media such as Weibo and WeChat of Zhoushan Daily. She also provides some opinions and suggestions to middle-aged and elderly friends on issues related to the use of WeChat. .
