This session we will offer two Computer Classes Monday thru Friday.  Class times will be from 10:00am – 12:00pm and from 1:00pm – 3:00pm. We also have added a second class, an intermediate class.  This class will be to help you maximize your computer skills. We will still offer the beginners class for those students who know how to turn on their computers but need help with email and using the internet.  The classes will be limited to 9 people so please sign up early.  Check off your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice and I will try to accommodate you as much as possible.  For those who were in the class last session the same book will be used.  For new students we are using Teach Yourself Visually Windows XP.  This book can be purchased at Bent Pages on Barrow Street in Houma.  The books are being held for our class.  The instructor is Jeff Hermening.  Jeff owns his own computer business and has taught beginners, intermediate and advanced classes too many local businesses.
