The Internet: Point and Click Your Way to the World (Wide Web)
The
world at your fingertips – that is one way of looking at the Internet. What
does it mean to Google something and why should you care? Look up a plumber
of great repute in your neighborhood, find a long lost colleague or old pal,
what is the current value of your home? Shop till you drop and not spend a
dime on fuel or bus fare. Plan your trip to the Azores. All this and a lot
more is available at no more than a point and click. Let wizard Edward Zeidan of
Nerd4Rent in Lafayette show you the yellow brick road to the World Wide Web
and beyond. He promises no headaches along the way. This class will be
held at The Lafayette Community Center 500 St. Mary's Rd, Lafayette.
Digital Photos: Your
Memories Captured
Birthdays, holidays, weddings, family reunions, these are just some of
the wonderful memories we have saved in our photo albums. Now see how you
can record these events, save them on your computer and share them with
others all over the world.
This class will show you how to copy digital pictures from your camera to
your computer, how to edit the pictures for lighting, brightness, and
contrast, remove red-eye. We’ll also learn how to crop your pictures, how to
email them friends and family, and much more. Please join Ed Zeidan of
Nerd4Rent in Lafayette, as he shares with you the resources available for
creating a photo album in the age of computers.
Introduction to e-mail
This class will show you how to send and receive email; how to add attachments to your email, how to work with attachments in email you receive; how to forward and reply to email; how to setup and use an address book for storing information about friends, family and contacts. We'll also learn about the different types of email programs, and options for your email formats.
Introduction to Skype
Today for a tiny initial cost, if you already have a personal computer, you can
see and talk face to face with your grandson in Seattle or your best friend in
Boston without leaving your living room in Lafayette. Watch your grandson
giggle, point to his nose, or blow bubbles. And no one even has to count
minutes – that is free if at the other end there is another Skype user. If your
old friend from high school in Boston doesn’t have Skype, that phone call cost
is still very low. Let Ed Zeidan from Nerd4Rent show you how easy it is! You
will need internet connectivity and a small dollar ticket item called a Webcam.
