The popular Seniors Net program will again be available to all Islanders over the age of 55. The Seniors Net program consists of two, 90 minute, one-on-one training sessions with a qualified tutor. The first session focuses on basic computer skills in easy-to-understand terms. Some topics will include printing and saving files and how to use a computer mouse. The second session focuses on a series of applications surrounding the Internet, including how to use e-mail and how to perform a search for reliable health information.
New to the program this year is a Seniors Net “Easy-Computing” Guide. The information booklet includes a “Common Myths” section followed by five main topic divisions including Computer Basics, Common Windows Tasks, Internet, E-mail, Word Processing, Troubleshooting, etc. The booklet is based on Microsoft Windows XP, Outlook Express, Internet Explorer and Word.
