Session 2 Went Well

Session 2 of the Beginning Beginners Computer Class, held Thursday the 15th, went well. About a dozen attended. Most had attended Session 1, held the previous week.


We used a word processor (Word, Works, or OpenOffice) as the vehicle with which to learn some of the basics of creating documents. Because Word has become the de facto standard, the actions used in this program apply to almost all other programs one might use. Because of this commonality, things learned in this lesson will be useful even if one never uses Word!

The picture at the right shows the instructor, Keith, and Roger and John concentrating on getting the right screen up. David, a part time resident at Rockport 35 RV Park and computer professional, assisted students and was a great help.

"Practice makes perfect" is an old but true saying. The students were encouraged to use their newly-learned skills for anything and everything. Using them will aid the learning experience and make it easier to forget what was done.
