SUMMARY:Click with Confidence
DESCRIPTION:Click with Confidence \nLearn the essential skills for making your computer work for you. Over six weeks\, train your awareness and practices for orienting yourself on digital platforms and performing foundational troubleshooting techniques. \nBuild confidence with device functions\, file and photo management\, internet navigation\, email\, online platforms\, and troubleshooting common issues. Explore how to browse safely\, evaluate information and communications\, and recognize AI tools and scam attempts in everyday encounters. Practice using digital platforms to communicate\, connect\, and create while developing habits that keep you and your information secure.

If you have a Chromebook\, you can bring that too — same principles will transfer.\nThis is a 6-week course. Enroll for the full series\, or attend individual classes and pay-as-you-go.
