Beginning Beginners Computer Class

A class for beginning beginners computer users will be held Thursday, Jan. 8, 9:00 to not later than 11:45 AM in the clubhouse. We'll start with turning the computer on; you need not have any experience using a computer.

If you're capable of creating spread sheets, making Power Point presentations, creating a website, or manipulating documents and files, you're probably not eligible to attend as a student. But you are most welcome to come as a tutor!

Who should attend? Those who generally feel uncomfortable while using a computer. You might be able to send and receive emails, but aren't sure what to do if someone emails you a picture which you wish to save. Or you might want to find the rules for a new card game but aren't sure how to find them on the Internet. Or you know certain documents, files, or programs are stored in your computer but don't know where they are or how to find them.

And you don't have a clue what to do when the computer acts a bit abnormally, which it will most certainly do sometime.

If any of the above sounds familiar, you will benefit from attending the class.

The goal of the class is to get you to the point where you feel fairly comfortable doing the things you want to do on the computer.

We'll introduce a subject and discuss and practice it for 20 to 40 minutes, then we'll take a little break. Then we'll move on to another topic for a short while, then another break, etc. We don't want students to get bored nor do we want them to feel as if they are drinking from a fire hose.

This format will allow us to cover a lot of ground in one morning session. That will give you lots of new tools to use immediately in the daily use of your computer.

Additional sessions can be scheduled if students wish to move on or if we simply don't get very far. Also, it is possible that not everyone who would like to can attend this first session; they deserve another chance!

I'll put a notice on the bulletin board in the kitchen. If you plan to attend, please sign up so I'll have some idea of how many to expect. (Or email me at kaw@syntheticsaves.com)

Bring your computer and something in which to take a few notes!
