A structured class helping you with the computer basics such as using a mouse & keyboard, managing email, using the internet and staying safe.
This class is for those who have never used a computer, were given one as a present but don’t know how to use it or maybe you find it hard to remember all the instructions.
It is a good opportunity for quiet practice and to build confidence to take a class.
Students will be introduced to ‘Learn My Way’, an accredited program to help beginners get started with the online basics – using a mouse, keyboard, setting up email accounts and using internet search engines – while also offering plenty to help people develop their digital skills further.
Computers will be supplied although you are welcome to bring your own.
This class is open to everyone including those with additional learning requirements.
To discuss if this course is right for you come and have a chat during one of our drop-in sessions (Tues 12-30-1.30).
This class is provided by ClearCommunityWeb and is part of the Digital Lounge @ UNLH program.

Are you a senior resident and feeling uncertain about all this new technology stuff and feel silly asking the same old questions?
Do you have a family member or neighbour who might need some help buying or using a mobile phone to keep in touch with friends and family?
Tea and Tech was designed to combat this – a sit down, a chat, back to basics and no silly questions. This is a social event with a difference.
This month we have a special focus on accessing health service online, what does it mean and how can it help.
We will be joined by Anna D’Agostino from the Croydon BME Forum who will give a talk on this subject.
If you have any question about how to use your mobile, online security or wish to try a tablet for the first time there will be others here to help.
Or simply come on down, make some new friends and see what other things we are doing to help the community improve its digital skills.
Come to the Upper Norwood Library Hub (UNLH), 39 – 41 Westow Hill, London SE19 1TJ on 6th September 2019 and let’s see if we can help.
