Coming later this month: teaching computer classes for seniors

Teaching Beginner Computer Classes: Seniors and Beyond
March 30-31, 1:30-3:30 p.m. CDT Register Now

Developing basic computer skills is a challenge that college students and seniors alike can face. Libraries increasingly offer beginning computer classes in both the public and academic fields in an attempt to bridge the gap between people and information. In this class, we will identify the applications, tools and skills computer beginners need, distinguishing the needs of seniors from those of younger learners. We will discuss the disposition and patience needed by computer class instructors, and finally, we will develop sample curricula for a computer class in your library.
