The More You Know…
Wednesdays are Everett days for me. Nick and I help coordinate a family literacy program and my assistant and I give a basic computing class to parents of Everett Elementary children. This week showed marked improvement in the course on my part; being the second go-around, I’m familiar with better starting points for adults that have rarely if ever used a keyboard. They are all eager and it can be frustrating trying to build a base from which they can climb up all the way to say, internet searches and email. But progress is made each class and we will introduce them to more interesting things than ‘home row’.
An article I sent my way proved informative and very positive. It profiles a non-profit in Pennsylvania that has an outreach to seniors to get online. It is appropriately named Generations Online and has a Spanish translation of the software. I’ll ask my class if they would be interested while you read up and pass along the information to anyone who might benefit from the service:
