 Monday:  The adult classes begin at 6:00 p.m.  The adults in attendance were: Mrs. Carnell Henderson, Mrs. Lavada Chisholm, Mrs. Brenda Anthony,Mrs. Tommie Stevens, Mrs. Ruby Henderson, and Miss Eboney Anderson. They were giving a quiz to see what they already know.  Most of the class was intermediate and two adults were beginners.  We taught them basic computer terminology and the basic functions of the computer. We had them start typing a letter.
 
 

Tuesday:  The adults were taught how to bold, underline, and italicize the fonts.  They learned to change the font style and the size.  We taught them how to use the different tools on the toolbar.  They finished typing their letter and we had them to change the font size, style,and color.  We had them bold, and copy and paste in their letters. They had to create a letter using word art and auto shapes. We did give a quiz each day to make sure they remembered what they were taught the previous day.  The adults asked more questions than the youth.  The youth caught on quickly.
 
 

Wednesday:  We had them create a letterhead for their letter they typed.  They used word art to create their letterheads. We started the Internet briefly.  We showed them different search engines, and the TSU website, the Massie Chair of Excellence website, and the GIS lab website.  We let them do searches on anything of their choice.
 
 

Thursday:  They got their email accounts.  They were taught to compose, reply, and check their emails.  They were assigned a person in the class to email.  They also had to email Mr. Hill and myself. They had to attach their letters from Microsoft Word and send it to their assigned person.  They also learned how to add names to their address book.  It took longer for some of the adults to catch on, so we continued on Friday.

Friday:  They were given a quiz to see what they remembered.   We had them practice emailing each other and attaching their documents from Microsoft word to their emails. We asked them if they wanted another training class and what they wanted to learn at the next one.  We had a fellowship party at the end of the class.  My father fried fish and the adults brought a dish.
