HOUGHTON -- Robby Emmert of Houghton invites beginners and those with some computer experience to participate in "Surfing in the U.P.," his series of free instructional computer classes at the Portage Lake District Library. Emmert is offering this course to the community as his Eagle Scout project, and all are invited to attend.
Emmert's classes are designed to provide local community members with basic computer knowledge, including email, internet browsing, Office programs such as Word and Excel, data management and music and video management.
The workshops are incremental, and by attending all four sessions participants will know enough to explore on their own on a Personal Computer (PC). A limited number of computers will be provided to practice on, and participants may bring their own laptop. (At present classes will be given for PCs only, although MACs may be accommodated in the future.)
Classes will take place in the library’s community room and the schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, Apr. 15, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. -- Complete beginner’s course: learn computers from scratch.
Friday, Apr. 24, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. -- Exploring your PC: programs, settings and data management.
Saturday, Apr. 25, 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. Learn how to surf the internet: e-mail, browsing and safety.
Thursday, Apr. 30, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. Multimedia: get the most out of your computing experience.
Everyone is invited to attend library events and presentations are free. For more information, please call the Portage Lake District Library at 482-4570.
