Seniors Teaching Seniors: Basic classes are taught by a group of senior volunteers who believe that older folks can learn computing best when instructed by persons in their same age group

"Listening to instructors, interaction of students and the fun of learning something new." "The hands-on actual learning at the computers." "Sharing information and question answering at beginning of the class was interesting and helpful." "The lecture part was helpful because I always learned something new." "Hands on at a reasonable pace for me." "Learning parts of the computer, doing new things on it and meeting people. I wasn't pressured or embarrassed. I really enjoyed the class." "Knowledge of instructors. Help when you need it."
