Winter classes are underway!

Evelyn Morgan who is the lead instructor for the Meet Your Mouse, Fun and Games and Intro to Personal Computers has already reported having full classrooms with every computer and seat taken. A special thanks not only to Evelyn, but to Don Ditlevson and Star Locklear who have been helping as assistant instructors. Several of the registered students, realizing they knew more than some of their classmates, even started helping coach some of the really new students. The point is that we had an excellent response so far this term. If we had more volunteer instructors, we could possibly offer more courses or more sections of the classes on the schedule.

If you're registered, don't forget that P.J. Williams will start the next class, Beginning Word Processing, on Tuesday and Thursday, March 9th and 11th at 9:30 A.M.

The "experimental" PC Questions workshop, which we've nicknamed, "The Dr. is IN," has its first session on March 3rd at 1:30 P.M. in the computer lab. No registration is required and we really have no idea what to expect in the way of attendance or what type of questions will be asked. One way to get your feet wet is to take a flying leap into the water. At least we hope to give some spontaneous answers to spontaneous questions. So rain or shine, three students or 30, we expect to have fun and maybe we'll learn more about what types of computer problems are being experienced by our senior students.

Thanks again to all our volunteer instructors, assistant instructors, coaches and the Fort Smith Public Library who make these classes possible.
