[Libs-Or] Computer classes in small libraries

[Jennifer Maurer]

Goodwill Community Foundation's Learn Free website<https://edu.gcfglobal.org/en/> has resources to help people learn technology, and those are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Also, LearningExpress Library<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/c.php?g=464081&p=5979123>, which is one of the statewide databases, has a section called Computer Skills Center.

Thanks,
Jen

PLA has Digital Learn: https://training.digitallearn.org/



Start from the very basics (what's a mouse? what's the internet? what's a tablet?).



For instance, the mouse/keyboard page: https://training.digitallearn.org/courses/mouse-keyboard-basics - has activity sheets, design docs, handouts, and a presentation pre-made for ya.



Might be a useful jumping off point.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Computer classes in small libraries

We are thinking about developing some basic computer classes for our library when we're back to "normal" one day. We have a lot of patrons who have never spent any time using computers, so don't know the basics. Do any of you have suggestions for how to structure mini-classes for an audience like this? Where did you find your instructional materials?
