Our new computer class series begins this week


Summer is winding down and it’s time to begin our next 10 week computer class series this week beginning tomorrow, August 20th at Southern Artery..  

If you haven’t registered already but want to join us, come to class this week and then stop by the office to register..  Taking these classes will help to ensure you don’t need instructions from someone like this little fellow….......................................................
so consider joining us with a friend so that you have someone to motivate you to use your new skills and if you have ideas or suggestions for topics that you would like to see us teaching – be sure to let us know… 

These are your classes and we want to be sure you are learning the skills important to you…And as always we welcome your comments and suggestions about what it is you want to learn during these classes, not only about application software – such as Word, Excel, Picasa and others, but all of this technology that is changing continually

This new series which begins all week starting Monday, August 20th will continue thru November 1st…No classes will be held on Monday, September 3 for the Labor Day Holiday or on Monday, October 8th for the Columbus Day Holiday

Special note – we have combined our Intro to Word & Excel classes held in the morning as requested by many students… so you will spend half the series working with Word Basics and the second half learning Excel basics… - This has also allowed us to add another Beginner or Internet class as needed…

Times & Topics for our Morning Beginner/Intermediate Classes:
·         Monday 9am: Beginner 1-Computer Basics (Hardware, Software & Intro to Internet)
·         Monday, 10:30am: Intermediate 1/Internet Basics (All about the internet, web & using email)

During this new series, Afternoon students, will continue to focus on Word Skills in Word Email & Power Point: We will spend the first few weeks with Word Tables to create and edit a personal medial information form; then we'll review some of the new features offered by email services, work with organizing photos on our computers and flash drives; learn more about new features offered by Picasa for photo editing – including easily uploading Picasa photos to Walgreen’s & Facebook; and finish out the series spending several weeks creating slide show presentations using the application software program: Microsoft Power Point... attached…

Remember, all afternoon students, who have completed the morning Beginner & Internet classes, are welcome to sign up (and pay) for a 2nd class, in the morning such as the combined Word/Excel class, or to refresh their skills on computer and internet basics... Requests for the 2nd class will be granted/honored on a first come first serve basis and students coming up from the Morning Internet Class have priority on the Word/Excel Class openings..
