Ives Main Library

Computer Classroom

An hour course that covers the structure, usage, and nature of the internet. Time for questions to follow.

What is the internet? How do I use it? 

Have questions? Need support?

During this course, we will show you how to access resources for continued learning. Videos and instructional guides are readily and easily available on the internet to help you access your email, look up basic information, make appointments, fact check, and an infinity more. If you are looking to generally "learn how to use the computer," this is the first course we suggest taking. You can also use your phone if you would like to learn that way as well.

"If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”

This class will include:

  • 30 minute introduction/overview of the internet's components, capabilities, and features
  • 10 minute section for tips and tricks
  • 20 minute guided exercise - basic tasks such as Google searching (specific or broad)
  • Additional time available for questions

Please register for this course as there are limited seats available.

Disclaimer: This course is designed for those who are unfamiliar with the internet or those who need a refresher. If you do not have a foundation to use a computer or a cell phone, this class may not be for you. If you would like support in learning how to use the computer, you can request a one-to-one appointment by calling us at (203) 946-8130 x101. We will collect your contact information over the phone.

This course is 18+ although we are happy to accept those who are 16 or 17.
