SUNY Sullivan Teams Up With Microsoft to Offer Second Round of Innovative Computer Training Programs for Adults during Summer Session 2011

 

Loch Sheldrake, NY (June 22, 2011) – Don’t be intimidated by your computer anymore! Learn what your kids and grandkids already know. Or increase your own working knowledge of your PC with new computer skills! Microsoft and SUNY Sullivan have partnered to present this fun, new series based on the results of extensive research which indicate that less tech-savvy adult computer users want to learn new computer skills. This course, offered at SUNY Sullivan during its Summer Session, makes that easier than you have 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. All workshops use free Windows®-based tools from Microsoft that you can download later at home. All classes will be held from 10 am to 1 pm in Room G005B of SUNY Sullivan. The campus is located at 112 College Road in Loch Sheldrake, NY.

Choose from any of the following class sections in the My PC Curriculum. For classes marked with an asterisk (*), students will be able to install Windows Live software on Windows XP or later. Windows features may vary and require advanced or additional hardware.
