Hello everyone,

I’m looking into the idea of putting together classes/presentations on teaching computer use and information literacy concepts for public library patrons. Thus far, I have gotten no further than planning a series that would be like…

·         Session 1: An Introduction to Computers

·         Session 2: Setting Up and Using Email

·         Session 3: The Basics of Microsoft Word

·         Session 4: The Basics of Microsoft Excel

·         Session 5: Finding Information on the Internet

Pretty bland when you look at it. I’m wondering if anyone out there has some interesting ideas for teaching technology and information literacy in public libraries. Unfortunately, we do not have a computer lab and I’m kind of stumped on how I would do this otherwise.

Thanks in advance!
