DTLteach

DTLteach is a simple, self-contained Windows 11 teaching guide for beginners, older adults, and anyone who needs a calm introduction to everyday computer use.

The project is a single HTML page written in French. It explains common Windows 11 concepts with short sections, simple wording, a fixed navigation sidebar, and one local screenshot of the Windows 11 Start menu.

Contents

The guide covers:

• The Windows 11 Start menu
• The six useful shortcuts in the left column of the Start menu
• How to increase text size and display scaling
• The Windows desktop
• Window controls
• File Explorer
• Internet browsing with Google Chrome
• Email basics
• USB drives
• Wi-Fi connection
• Essential programs
• Basic security habits

Files

• DTLteach.html - the complete teaching guide, including HTML and CSS.
• menu_Windows_11.png - screenshot used in the Start menu section.

How to Use

Open DTLteach.html in a web browser.

No installation, server, build step, or external dependency is required. The page works as a local static file as long as menu_Windows_11.png stays in the same folder as the HTML file.

Editing

The page is intentionally lightweight:

• The navigation links are defined in the .sidebar section.
• Each lesson is a <section> with its own id.
• The visual style is embedded in the <style> block at the top of DTLteach.html.

To add a new chapter, add a new sidebar link and a matching section with the same anchor id.

Audience

This guide is designed for practical digital literacy sessions where learners may be discovering Windows for the first time. The tone and structure favor reassurance, clarity, and step-by-step learning over technical detail.

Update - 14 June 2026

The repository now contains several complementary HTML learning materials.

Important files:

• DTLteach.html: main Windows 11 guide page.
• DTLteach_Fr.html: separate French version of the same teaching material.
• programmes_presents.html: educational inventory of programs and tools included with Windows 11.
• menu_Windows_11.png: screenshot used in the Start menu section.

The guide still covers Windows 11 basics, while the programs inventory adds a broader view of settings, security, administration tools, communication, accessibility, and Microsoft utilities.
