give an hour

Pledge to give an hour when the clocks go back to help someone get online

Go On logo
When the clocks go back at the end of October, the Race Online 2012 campaign, supported by the OU, is urging people to give up that extra hour to help someone new to the internet get online.

If you can find the time to give an hour and help someone discover the internet, what would you show them? How can you engage them through their own interests?

Friend of Race Online 2012 and OU honorary graduate Martha Lane-Fox is giving up her hour to help her dad go beyond basic email and show him how the internet can support his interests in gardening and history.

 

If you pledge to give an hour, what would you show an internet novice? Share your comments below and feel free to submit your own video and audio messages too. Please email the Platform team with your video messages.
