If you’ve ever thought computer classes were

too boring or too technical,

the My PC Series is for you.

LDSCNY Adult Learning Center is excited to bring you a new and innovative computer training program for adults:

the My PC Series!

This fun, new series of classes is based on extensive research about how less tech-savvy adults want to learn new computer skills.

Making the most of your PC is easier than you ever imagined!

If you can click a mouse, you can edit a digital photo, turn your photos into a movie that tells a story, and use a webcam to stay in touch with loved ones. Workshops use Windows® 7 and free Windows®-based tools from Microsoft that you can download later at home.

Don’t be intimidated by your computer!

Learn what your kids, friends, neighbors, and co-workers already know.

All the fun and none of the tech babble.

Take control of your learning curve with easy, ‘getting started’, jargon-free workshops delivered at a pace you can enjoy in a classroom environment with loads of hands-on time.

The following courses are free.*
