Computer training offered for seniors

FALLBROOK – The Foundation for Senior Care will sponsor a series of computer classes at the Senior Care Computer Learning Center taught by volunteer computer technicians. Registration is Thursday, Jan. 19 from 1 to 3 p.m. and Friday, Jan. 20 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at 135 S. Mission Road (the corner of Mission and Fig).

The six classes being offered are: Exploring the Internet, Buying & Selling on the Internet, iPad & iPhone, Genealogy/Family Tree Maker, Your Introduction to Windows 10, and How to Make a Spreadsheet.

Two-hour classes are held once a week for four consecutive weeks. Classes start Monday, Jan. 23. Class size is limited to eight students and fill up quickly. For a description of classes, cost, or more information, call Elise Mack (760) 728-1720 or Russ Hatfield (760) 728-0855. Or check out the classes at http://seniorcarecomputerlearningcenter.org.

“Our goal is to assist seniors in the community in using technology to keep in touch with family, friends and share pictures,” said Russ Hatfield, computer learning volunteer for 14 years. “It’s very rewarding to teach others to use apps such as Facebook, messenger, and many other chat/txt apps to stay in touch with those they love.”

In addition to classes, the Foundation for Senior Care hosts a weekly open lab on Fridays called Fix it Friday where seniors can walk in for help with software or hardware problems. There is no charge for this service but donations are encouraged.
