Adult Computer Classes

Winter has brought a definite decline in the number of people who want to venture out of their nice cozy homes for a Computer Class after supper. Class size has dropped considerably and I have decided to stop holding classes for the time being. We did accomplish a fair amount before Christmas with people setting up Blogs, Wikis, and learning Microsoft Office programs. We spent quite a bit of time discussing Internet safety issues during the first session. I found parents to be interested in what their children are learning at school and they were definitely impressed with their child's skills. I think I made a difference in the way the parents (that attended) view the ever-changing Internet and what exciting things it has to offer. They are concerned about their children's safety but not worried about it. I am sending my email address to all who signed up so that they can contact me if they have questions or problems with their own skill development. Hopefully people will use what they learned to continue experimenting!
