“I’d
like to learn more about using computers, but I can’t make it in to all the
classes at the library. Are there online classes I can take?” The Newton Falls
Public Library offers free computer classes and one-on-one times three Mondays
and one Saturday every month. However, we understand that everyone has busy
schedules. Fortunately, there are online resources available. Cynthia
Casterline, our technology educator, recommended LearningExpress Library and GCFLearnFree.org.
LearningExpressLibrary requires that you set up an account first at a participating library
(such as Newton Falls Public Library), but after that, you can access it from
anywhere. Along with tutorials on everything from the very basics to Adobe
Photoshop, LearningExpress Library also offers practice exams for the SAT, ACT,
GED, AP tests, CDL exams, NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN, and many others. It also
provides math and English practice and help.
GCFLearnFree.org
can be accessed anywhere even if you don’t have a library card. It offers math,
English, and career help as well, along with a wealth of computer tutorials on
Google, Facebook, Microsoft Office, using the mouse, Skype, iPads, iPhones, and
many more.
