Whether you have some experience with personal computers or have never even touched one, this course will demystify the hardware and software of this universal technology. This reassuring environment offers hands-on experience with one person per computer and instructor-led exercises for developing confidence and comfort. Students learn to use the keyboard and mouse, to discover the internet, e-mail and word-processing. Using simple, straightforward language, the class covers computer parts and terminology, considerations for buying your own P.C. and setting up a healthy workstation. Students will explore the finer capabilities of the computer and the internet, learning to use software programs such as Microsoft Word and internet search engines. Safe and secure internet shopping and opening attachments will also be addressed. By the end of the course, students will have conquered any fear of computers, surfed the net, opened e-mail accounts and learned enough to make an educated computer purchase. Special attention is offered to those intimidated by the computer. No computer experience/knowledge is required. The class has no additional fees.
