Microsoft’s easy-to-learn publishing software is a great tool to help businesses and individuals save money by creating their own publications and flyers.
An operating system (OS) is like the office you use to organize your life and as such, it should be designed around your individual needs. In this course, we will compare and contrast the most commonly found operating systems like Windows versus Mac. We will also briefly cover a few, more obscure systems you might not even know you’re already using, such as the common Android OS, popular on most cell phones. After the broad analysis of what’s available to users, we will learn specifically how to best use Windows 10 operating system as an organized storage space for your personal works. We will talk about portable storage mediums (flash drives, USB sticks, thumb drives, etc.) and how to transfer from your OS to these types of devices. We will cover settings and how to get your computer to behave in the way that is most comfortable for you. We will visit the app store to see what kinds of tools and toys are available for you to personalize your office even further.

QuickBooks: Essential Skills and Accounting Basics
New to QuickBooks or just getting started? The best thing is to learn basic accounting too! This class combines accounting and business concepts with active QuickBooks practice. We look at accounting terminology, analyze transactions using a worksheet and then create a company file to work through typical transactions. This course includes the chart of accounts, the five account types, working with customers (items, sales receipts, invoices, payments, deposits) and vendors (bills, checks, credit card charges) and basic banking. Finally, we use common financial reports to check our work. Requires basic computer knowledge but no QuickBooks experience.
Are you an artist, photographer or creative writer who wants to create online portfolios or blogs to showcase your work? WordPress is the perfect vehicle for you! It is estimated that almost 20 precent of the internet now runs on WordPress, and the software’s success is owed chiefly to its combination of power and ease of use. If you want to get your work out there in an attractive and relatively simple way, this class will show you how.
Part of the appeal of WordPress is that there are so many free and premium themes available with which you can get a new website up and running quickly. But some people just weren’t made for “cookie cutters.” This class will show you how to adapt a theme to meet your, or your business’, unique needs. Included in this class will be advice on how to modify the visual styling of your WordPress site; how to create “custom post types,” which (among other uses) can help in the creation of a simple online store; and how to more effectively incorporate plugins to further extend the power of your WordPress website.
