Check out Community Computer Classes

I popped into the library today to look for new books and to borrow some DVD's and I noticed a flyer hanging up that advertised an upcoming computer course held at the library. The course was targeted for seniors, teaching them basic computer skills such as navigating the internet, sending emails, and using basic programs. Although Mom is pretty proficient at using the computer, I thought this was a great idea, and just wanted to get the word out about community programs like this which are the perfect way to get seniors involved in computing, and keep them connected to friends, family, and the world.

If you have an older parent or friend who would benefit from the many opportunities the internet has to offer, look for a community class near you to help them learn to use a computer. Combined with accessibility keyboards, mice, and magnifiers like these http://www.chestercreek.com/seniorsProducts.html computers can be a godsend for many seniors.
