Talking Tech: Windows Computer Basics
A course for beginning computer users, this class will provide you with the most commonly
used basic skills for your Windows based personal computer, such as how to open/close
programs, join a Zoom meeting, organize files on the computer, start and stop programs and
apps, use Microsoft Word to create, save, and print a document, search the Internet safely
to find information and make bookmarks, as well as how to set up and use an email account.
Although not required, this class is a perfect sequel to our Digital Literacy Class. (Bring your
laptop or use a computer in our lab.)
Talking Tech 4 Seniors:
Do you want to learn how to use a computer, or other device, and use the internet to be
able to better connect with family, friends and virtual communities for meaningful social
connection? Want to learn how to use Zoom and find classes and activities for exercise,
learning and fun? Want to be able to use the internet and apps for online shopping,
deliveries and other resources? Want to feel safe and secure as you do it? We want to
support you!
We will teach you how to use your device how to connect using Zoom, and we will be there
to answer any technology-related questions you might have. We will start with the very
basics and build up your tech knowledge as you go. We teach through hands-on learning and
will leave you with instructional handouts so you can practice at home.
Join from the start if you are a true beginner, or if you are already familiar with how to use a
computer, join just the classes you need. Specifically designed for seniors but open to
anyone and everyone welcome!
