New Classes Added for Summer
Good news. For all of you who remain in SaddleBrooke during the summer, the SaddleBrooke Computer Club has added several new classes just for you.
The following classes are currently available for enrollment:
Set up your new PC: Two sessions. Learn how to set up a new computer and transfer your data from your old computer yourself potentially saving hundreds of dollars.
Meet windows 8.1: Six sessions. This class is intended for students with experience using a previous version of Microsoft Windows on a regular basis; this is not a class for beginners. Use our classroom PCs or bring your own laptop running Windows 8.1.
Best free software: Two sessions. We will describe a selection of the best free software packages, the safest places to find them, how to obtain and install them and some of the common hazards to avoid.
Google chrome: One session. The web browser is arguably the most important piece of software on your computer. You spend much of your time online inside a browser. Learn how to set up and use the world’s most popular browser, Google Chrome.
Firefox: One session. Firefox is a user friendly internet browser hosting lots of features and a top notch security system. We will show you the basics and discuss some of the many useful options.
EZ Mac: Six sessions. This class is for the beginning Mac user with hands-on lessons on various operations, system configuration and software. The classroom is equipped with eight Mac computers for your use or you can bring your own laptop.
ProShow Gold: Three sessions. Use ProShow Gold to easily create stunning slide shows for friends, family, business or just for fun! Just select your photos, videos, music and drop them in the show. Record your own voice-over track or add a soundtrack from a CD.
