Basic Computing Presentation
This morning I gave a short presentation to class of adults in the College at 60 program at Fordham. The presentation covered topics in basic computer such as using search engines and using email. I also discussed different Web 2.0 applications and websites of interest. We didn’t get a chance to talk about everything, but here is a copy of the presentation followed by a list of links:
