Google Drive: Get It Organized

with Vanessa Richards

Mar

March 22nd, 2022

$10 More Info

Google Drive is an example of a cloud-based place where you can create and save files of all kinds - word documents, spreadsheets, surveys and more.

You can access the files from most devices and more than one person can work on them at the same time. If you’re using it for personal use, Drive applications are free. It’s a practical way to learn programs without investing in software. This workshop will introduce you to these features. This is an in-person class.

You’ll need a Gmail account for this workshop, and will need to know your account username and password. It’s ideal if you access your Gmail on the web vs. a computer-based program. If you’re not sure what this means, please contact us and we’ll be glad to assist you!

Vanessa loves working with adult learners. She is really easy to be around and makes people extremely comfortable; she even makes learning math and computers fun! She is committed to helping adults discover their strenghts, build their confidence, and realize they can accomplish their goals. In her free time, she loves to travel and explore the outdoors. Vanessa teaches math, science, technology, and provides college and career advising.

Computer Support for You!

with Annie Sargent

Free More Info

Offering effective technology instruction is a challenge. In any class, you have people with different devices, software programs, learning sytles, levels of maturity, confidence and goals. At Ellsworth Adult Education, we are continually striving to improve our offerings to serve the community.

This Fall, we are still piloting a more individualized approach. Using a telephone or email survey, we will work with you to assess your skills, resources and goals, and identify learning options that are the best fit for you. There are many invaluable free online resources for improving technology skills.

This program is offered by appointment, live online or in-person options available; ongoing enrollment.

If you're interested in learning more about this offering, register here and we will call you to schedule a phone or in-person meeting with one of our advisors.

Become a Digital Literacy Volunteer!

with Vanessa Richards

Free More Info

Make a difference in this digital age. The pandemic has increased dependence on technology and Ellsworth Adult Education has many people seeking individual support with digital devices (computers, smart phones, and tablets.) Almost all of these learners are functioning at a basic level. Our experience shows that computer classes are challenging as everyone has a different device, software, learning style and goal. Over the past year, we have started a Computer Cafe - designed as a computer lab of sorts - where people can come to meet individually or in small groups to learn from one another and an experienced teacher. We have found this approach to be very effective. In order to grow this program, we need volunteers to assist the instructor to provide the individualized instruction.

Our current hours are Mondays, 11a-1p and Thursdays, 4p-6p. We are hoping to expand if we get enough volunteers! We will provide you with some training, support and resources. We are organizing information/training sessions to share information and resources. If you’re interested in learning more, register for this course or reach out to us at adultedinfo@ellsworthschools.org or 207.664.7110.
