One-on-one training in the DC/Southern Maryland area is my specialty. Small groups and large groups that can be split-up into small groups (eg. at a retreat) could also be accomodated. Here are some of the benefits of this training as opposed to typical large-group and/or college and other institutional classes.:

Here are some class topics and what they could contain, depending on your needs:

• Beginning Computer
  • Turning it on
  • Finding Files & Programs
  • Creating files and documents
  • Different types of programs and what they do
  • Basic word programming use
  • email

• Beginning Internet (prerequisite: knowledge of computer use as above)
  • use of browser
  • where to go (for general types of information and your specific interests)
  • how to read and strip a URL (web address)
  • some useful vocabulary

• Web Site Development (possible content listed below)

• Non Profit Use of the Internet (prerequisites: knowledge of first two class contents)
  • web site content
  • fundraising

Here are some specifics you could learn in a Beginning Web Site Development class:

• How to read HTML - will allow you to look at the source of any page to tell how it was created and copy some aspects of others' work, continuing to learn as changes are made.
• Writing HTML code, including:
  • basic code needed for all pages
  • links
  • images
  • tables
• FTP Publishing (uploading to the server)
• Resources to learn more (most available online free of charge)

• Create your own web site while you learn how to use free web tools.
• Sign-up to free web service.
• Learn about domain name registration and costs of service.
• Create links, upload images, change fonts, colors, alignment, and more.
