This weeks schedule: info for coaches


WEEKLY UPDATE:
 
Tomorrow, Tuesday, December 4, we are teaching Skype at 1:00 p.m. If we download Skype on to all the computers as part of the class (we adjust what we teach on what a specific class needs,) we can really use a high coach to student ratio.  There is room for additional students.  Sign up tomorrow morning.
 
Freecycle is cancelled on Wednesday.

Thursday, December 6, there are two classes. 

In the morning at 10:00 a.m., we are teaching “Email: Learn much more than you already know.”  This class is mostly lecture, but as we have learned, anything dealing with multiple email services often requires a high level of individual attention.  There is also room for a few additional students in this class.
 
In the afternoon,(Thursday, December 6, 1:00 p.m.) Gene Chodash is teaching the second session of “Beyond Boot Camp.”  This is the section that introduces students to Word for the first time.  This is a totally hands-on class, and a full complement of coaches is what has earned this class the high marks it consistently gets.  We hope to see you there.
 
And Friday, we will hold our usual "Open Lab" from 10:00 a.m. to noon to help members solve their computer issues.  This is free.
