The September schedule for classes presented by Hot Springs Tech Learning Center has been confirmed. They include:

Students should have a proficiency of the keyboard, mouse skills and reasonable computer knowledge to register for this course. Students will learn how to navigate through Windows 10, learn use of tiles, change basic settings, use File Explorer to organize files and folders; use flash drives. The new Microsoft Edge browser will be covered (favorites, reading list, setting start pages). Email choices available in Windows 10 will be discussed (mail, webmail, Windows Live Mail). Pre-requisite: Windows 10 Basics

Editing Photos: workshop from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 11 and 12. It introduces the student to the basics of using the Windows 10 Photo app to edit photos. Some features in the Photo app are enhancing

color, adding filter, and red eye and blemish removal.

Introduction to Computers: workshop from 1-3 p.m. Sept. 18. The purpose is to prepare students for other computer classes. No prior knowledge is required. Topics to be covered: turn on/off computer; mouse usage (left and right buttons); cut/copy/paste using Word Pad; files/folders (create, save, delete).

Pinterest: workshop from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 19, to introduce the basics of Pinterest. Pinterest is an online pinboard for saving and sharing things of interest. Friends can “follow” boards and users can “pin” things that interest them from other people’s boards. Setting up the student’s account and the basic knowledge of using Pinterest will be addressed. This will be a hands-on class and students will use the classroom computers. Students will need a Pinterest account. Students who do not already have an account will set up an account at the beginning of the workshop.

One-on-one help sessions: from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 25. These sessions help on a topic that no workshop/class offers, and help the student register on a topic of their choice. The student will be matched with a staff member who can provide them with oneon-one help. Bring questions. To register for these sessions, email hstechlcreg@gmail.com or call Dot Brumley, 844-6473.

All classes will be held at the Learning Center at 1662 Higdon Ferry Road, Doctor’s Building, Suite 120. Register and get costs online at http://hstechlc.com or call Brumley.
