Formal Computer Clas

Formal Computer Classes...

In a month or so Sid Adkins will be posting for folks to sign up for a course that he developed for the Senior center. It’s geared to give us a structured and systematic way to learn computers. Regardless of what you have been learning this way is sure to be a better way. His course is set so that the students progress at their own speed without waiting on others. He has been kind enough to let me see the course outline and I think you will enjoy this course very much indeed. Sid has some business to take care of before beginning this course for us. But we are all looking forward for his guiding hand in the near future.

Meanwhile, we will continue to put on the mini-series dedicated to developing skills that we have heard folks ask for. All though there is sometimes dozens of ways to do something on a computer we will try to teach the simplest way we know of.

Some of the courses will incorporate the LVH School House web page and the many lessons written there by Jim Dodds and myself. We have been finding that many folks have not learned just a few beginning key strokes and terms and this is probably the reason they have found difficulty in learning computers. We learn from the class what those things are through their questions and try to bring them back to the class in the next lesson. For this reason two of the next things we will learn is how to load a new program onto the computer. How to fix the screen size so you don’t have to get down on top of it to see what’s going on.

This sure am fun!

Donna Davi is thinking about teaching another EXCEL spread sheet course... Be sure and ask her. Anybody else out there want to give us a helping hand up?
