For the folks that were in our Internet class yesterday at the Socastee Library, you will remember that the slide presentation had lots of broken links in it. My apologies, but they are now fixed. You can either click on the link in my original post or for convenience, I'll post it again here:

Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
I would appreciate it if you would leave a comment to let me know you have been here. You can do so be clicking on the word "Comments" to the right of my name at the very bottom of this post. You could also ask me questions there about the class or the slides or anything on the slides and I will try to answer you in a following comment.

Neat Things You Can Do On the Internet
On 3/22/2012 Shirley and I will be teaching a new class at the Socastee Library in Horry County SC. The title of the class is "Neat Things You Can Do On the Internet". I have uploaded the PowerPoint presentation for the class to Slideshare. You can find it at

Many folks in our (ahem...) somewhat older generation wonder how we can spend as much time online as we do. In a two hour trek driving back from Charleston a few weeks ago we began brainstorming a list of all the activities we engage in online and I "wrote" them down on my iPhone as Shirley was driving. We were amazed at the size and scope of the list and decided to turn it into a class that would answer the question and give folks the opportunity to learn how we do what we do. I created the PowerPoint presentation to use in the class and included many many hyperlinks that will take you to the sites we use. 95% of them are sites we have directly used ourselves, the other 5% are related to the same topics.
Following is a list of all the topics, Most have multiple sub topics in the slideshow where all have multiple hyperlinks.
