computer class

earning computers and basic Internet skills is not only for accessing information. It is the tool now for keeping in touch with family members.

There are even health benefits that come from nimble fingers on the keyboard, or playing games.

The list goes on. In fact, what holds true for those on the right side of the age divide is also true for senior citizens when it comes to Internet and basic computer skills.

• Smaller classes • Informal setting • One-on-one time with your instructor.

Some people fear the computer, but basic computer skills are very easy to learn – more so today when everything is designed to be user-friendly and visually accessible.

Some classes to choose from: > Basics of Computer > Excel > Microsoft Word > QuickBooks > Power Point > Digital Photography
