INTERNET-BASED CLASSES
Security Awareness for Everyone - "SAFE"
Today, nearly all that you do is some
way handled by computers and the
Internet. Computers, tablets, smart
phones, and other devices connect you to
websites that you likely use for your
banking, credit cards, retirement
accounts, investments, and medical
purposes, just to name a few.
These websites contain information about
you and all aspects of your life. This
information needs to be protected
against unauthorized access, which can
result in identity theft, impersonation,
and criminal use. How do you
protect yourself? What are viruses and
what can they do to your information?
How can you protect yourself against
identity theft? How can you tell if an
act of identity theft is occurring? This
90-minute class describes and answers
the questions above so you can identify,
avoid, protect and defend yourself
against such threats. Be SAFE, Compute
SAFE, Feel SAFE!

WINDOWS SKILLS CLASSES
Windows File Management
This basic class for ALL Windows users
is designed to help you understand how
to work with files and folders. The
instructor will use the Windows 10 File
Explorer program to demonstrate how to
move, copy, rename, and delete files,
either individually or in groups.
He will show you how to organize your
files into folders and how to work with
them. If time allows, we may
discuss "file types" or "file
extensions" which identify a file's type
and whether you can open and use that
file. This skill comes in handy if you
are sending or receiving files to/from
other people.
You are welcome to bring your laptop to
