Volunteer instructors teach six week sessions that include introduction to computers, basics on Windows and file and folder management, and beginning Microsoft Word. At sites that are connected to the internet, e-mail and internet usage are included. If students are ready for more, spreadsheet basics with Microsoft Excel and preparing presentations with Microsoft PowerPoint may be covered.
Class sizes are small, about six students.
Each class is one and a half to two hours long. Depending on availability of volunteer instructors, team teaching works best since much individual student attention is needed. Kathy then determines each class roster at each of the training sites for the volunteer instructors available that six-week session. This schedule can vary each session depending on availability of training sites, volunteer instructors, students, and when holidays occur. Please see the overall class schedule and the current class .
