Introduction to Computers
Prerequisites:  none
Instructor:  Rick Archibald

Did you just purchase or acquire a computer for personal use? Has your employer suddenly decided to go High Tech? Or, do you need to learn how to use a computer and you ungrateful kids don’t have the time or patience to teach you? If any of this applies to you, Introduction to Computers is the class for you!

This hands on class is structured around introducing the inexperienced computer user to the basic components and their proper usage. In two short Saturdays, you will learn:

• Proper start up and shut down of a computer.
• The keyboard, its use, and all those strange keys.
• The mouse and why you should not allow the cat to eat it.
• Understanding of computer language and terminology.

This is an excellent foundation class in that it prepares you for Basic Computer Use, Intermediate classes, and Introduction to Microsoft Office classes.

Class price is $40 for members and groups of three or more and $50 for non-members. The class size ranges from 4 to 12 students.
