INTRODUCTION TO WINDOWS
|
What:
|
The Introduction To Windows
class is designed for people who do not have a computer yet or have
just obtained one and don't know how to "turn it on". Students will learn
about the parts of the computer, acquire keyboard and mouse skills used
in many software programs, and some word processing. Instruction
proceeds at a slower pace than most computer courses and time is
allotted for "hands on" practice Taking the next course,
Windows XP, will still be necessary for students who want to be
productive with their computers, but the students will be better able
to understand what the Windows XP Instructor is teaching. Internet and
Email will NOT be covered in this course.
Instruction
is geared towards adults who desire to learn basic computer skills.

Introducing Vista |
| What: |
This course is an overview of the Vista operating system that is the replacement of Windows XP. Students will be able to see what Vista looks like but is NOT hands on. The training will be more of a visual demonstration and discussion of the major differences between the two operating systems from a user’s point of view. The course includes what Vista is, the various versions available, hardware requirements, pros’s and con’s of converting and new functionality. The main focus will be demonstrating how to accomplish the user basics (navigating, menus, control panel, files and folders) in Vista versus Windows XP.
