Week of March 11

Here we are at Daylight Savings Time weekend as we push to keep our students out of the dark. It’s another busy week with two “double-header” days on Monday and Thursday. Thank you to all the coaches who were instrumental in making this past week a success. We are counting on you to help out in the coming week. Again, the iPad course on Monday afternoon is one that really needs a high ratio of coaches to students. (The class is sold out with 10 registered students.) On Thursday afternoon, we have a new course “What’s New In Windows 8” which has 10 registered students. This will be a good opportunity for coaches to not only help out, but to learn more about Windows 8. See you in the Lab!

March 4 to 8 Computer Learning Center Activities

Following are the activities scheduled in the Computer Learning Center next week. We see more and more clients using tablets, and we are seeing more coaches and instructors with expertise in tablet-related areas. Genealogy and Picasa are being taught on Wednesday and Thursday. These are great classes, and there is space available in each of them.
