Hey you and welcome! my name is Mr. Berry and in this whole video I want to introduce some of the
computer classes that I'll be offering here the for the fall 2021. now if you can't make it during
that time for period don't worry the classes will actually be recorded and will be right there in
my YouTube channel I'm going to be showing you where to find the playlist of the classes here
in just a moment but if you do live in between the Visalia and the Fresno areas of California you can
actually participate and come to the class and be there in person for these free computer classes
so what is the computer literacy class all about well it's actually more than just a computer
literacy class this course is designed to train the student in using a wide variety of computer
systems effectively in the areas of media word processing spreadsheets social networking email
digital photography and so much more we'll be working within the chrome operating system as well
as windows work be working with cell phones we'll be working with Microsoft office and google docs
we start with lesson one on day number one which is a quick introduction to pc basics and logging
in by lesson number two will be going over terms pc navigation email and working with google docs
and looking at the basics from lessons three to nine we'll be working with word processing with
microsoft word and google docs from lessons 10 to lessons 12 we'll be working with spreadsheets
with Microsoft excel and google sheets lessons 13 and beyond will be working with other applications
such as working with our usb drives learning how to speed up windows and other office suites
we'll be looking at outlook windows explorer and paint we'll be working with digital cameras
[ __ ] photo stitch as well as looking into PowerPoint we'll also be looking into working
with our cell phones and if you're interested in actually registering for the computer class maybe
getting some of the material some of that type of thing well i do have the phone number right here
for the Selma adult school and they're the ones who are maybe sponsoring the class you could say
and I'll be using their facilities and having the classes there at their site in Selma and so
there's the phone number that you can use and they will give you the location and also the
times it will be on Tuesdays between 4 and 6 30 but if there's any change or anything like that
do use that phone number there to get the newest information on these computer classes they will
be starting august the 23rd of that week and will be going on and meeting every Tuesday we usually
normally have 16 lessons or 16 sessions and if you look at my YouTube channel on the playlist there's
you'll see well there's more than 16 lessons or 16 sessions shown there that's because on some
of the classes we actually go through two of the videos sometimes we go over three because some of
those videos are simply mini lessons that are part of a larger lesson for that day so let's jump into
my YouTube channel and I'm going to show you where the playlists are located for my computer classes
hey here i am inside of my YouTube channel now um to find the YouTube channel that I
have here just go to YouTube type in or key in selmateacher7 boom and then you'll be able
to find me by that name there now if you go in you'll notice here towards the middle it says home
videos if you click on videos you get to see the newest videos i've uploaded there
and then after that is playlist now the playlists are here for you so that you can basically find
um videos all related to each other so on the very first one we have security so I do have a number
of videos that are nothing but security how to do things better on the internet and safely there
and the very next one after that is our computer literacy class and that very first one there says
2020 i'll be using the same lessons there uh for 2021 here so if you click on view full list comes
up and you can actually see there's actually many many lessons that we go over and i said earlier
sometimes we go over two or three of these videos in one session because many of them are mini
lessons that basically work with the main lesson all right now if i go over to this side above me
here and i click on that arrow you'll see that there's actually many more playlists there and
one of the lessons or one of the classes I'll be having too for free there is the network control
operator class and it says 2017 but that's because basically it still works it still fits even in
2021. what do we cover there will we talk about upgrading computer systems uh doing things such
as repairing computer systems building them fixing uh problems within windows even working with our
Chromebooks is found in there as well so if you like to work with your hands if you like to repair
things or if you need to repair things the network control operator is for you now i will be adding
new lessons or new little mini lessons to this list so even though it says 2017 every once in a
while you'll be seeing new videos incorporated into that playlist for example right now
i'm looking at a website that was really offering a really good service as far as
being able to go in and get your or reset your windows password as well as other passwords
on your computer system now I do have videos or lessons on how to do that manually
but with their software you just basically use their software and um it does it for you so it
kind of skips a few of the steps makes it a little bit easy and if you're novice at this then you
know that's the way to go so i will be adding or incorporating some of these little mini lessons
on that uh here in the near future um if you go in there you'll notice that I do have
older lessons for like computer technology many lessons if you're new to computers and all that
then there may be some really good videos information in there for you
if you're using a Chromebook the computer literacy courses that we will be covering this time
that's perfect that's actually what we're using in the classes we'll be using Chromebooks now some
of the students will be bringing in their windows computers no worry though because you can actually
do all of the lessons uh either on a windows a mac or a Chromebook just that in the computer
classroom the basketball is given to us there at the score site is Chromebooks and since it's a
low-cost device many people are bringing in their own Chromebooks if you notice there I do have
a playlist called acer Chromebook cb515 basically i go over using my uh my Chromebook
if you've been a subscriber and if you haven't subscribed yet I hope you do subscribe
the button is right above me by the way um if it's red you click it to make it gray and click
on the bell to receive notifications when new videos come about so if I go and click back onto
videos you notice one of the very first videos there says acer Chromebook
cb 715 comparing the cb 315 and the others which is best for you so that's one of my later videos
on recommended Chromebooks and basically how they differ
one thing that you should be aware of if you are buying a Chromebook is you want to make
sure it does have a touchscreen you may say well I don't really need a touchscreen the reality is
many of the apps many of the programs that you run or use on your Chromebook as you use it more and
more you'll discover that they are touchscreen only and so if you do have a touchscreen with
Chromebook basically it opens up the world for you and you can do more things with your Chromebook
so uh you'll notice I have it right here it's it's called acer Chromebook cb
715. another thing to be aware of if you are buying a new Chromebook is which processor it has
so we're looking at the the faster ones have the intel processors and that would be the 4400 or
above you know a larger number maybe even a core i3 that you actually use comes with a
core i3 processor of course I use that to create and produce these videos
so there are actually many many videos here and if you were looking for specific one or
a type of topic outside the playlist you can actually jump to this magnifying glass
and if you click on that then you can simply key in a word or a phrase and find the videos that are
related to that word or phrase so there's hundreds and hundreds of lessons there for you everything
from connecting a printer to your Chromebook to even installing Chrome OS on a windows machine
and so there's there's many many videos up there so there you go now you know of the new computer
classes are happening this fall hey if you like these types of videos please give it a thumbs
up subscribe to my channel if you haven't done so already and comment down below because I do
read all of your comments especially if you have a question on like how to set up your printer
with your Chromebook or how to do something else there with your computer just go ahead and type
it into the comments I'll get to those there as soon as I can hey thank you again and bye bye!
