This fall, the Library is providing FREE Digital Literacy courses, instructed by technology expert Chris DiSalvatore from the Great Falls College-MSU. You are not required to attend each course, but it is strongly recommended that you bring your own device.
For this week’s course, we will go over computer basics and using Windows 11. If you know a bit about using a mouse and keyboard but don’t know your way around using a computer just yet, this is the class for you. Learn how to use a PC (Personal Computer) with the Windows 11 Operating System. Please bring your own laptops, but GFPL has some laptops for those who do not own one.
The courses will be held each Wednesday until November 12 from 2 to 4 pm in the Cordingley Room. No registration required.
For every class you join, your name gets entered into winning a free Amazon Fire HD10 tablet!
