[Libs-Or] Computer classes in small libraries

[Paul Addis]

Here's a great intro to computer mouse I've been using for years. In my Beginning Computer Mouse class, I mostly walk them through this. Then, if we have time, we move on to Mousercise!

This tutorial is designed to help people who have never used a computer before. We will concentrate on using the mouse and a few other basic skills. Ask a librarian for information on local computer classes for more in-depth instruction.

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.

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?
