Adult Tech Students Celebrate Another Well-Done Job

Recently, adults from Woodlawn celebrated their hard work in and completion of our Technology Literacy Course and our Microsoft Word Course. Students received a 1 gb flash drive for storing files. (These ladies learned the technology world has come a long way since floppy discs.)

Several more adult courses will continue to be offered throughout the summer. This week begins another round of classes, starting with a technology literacy course and a Microsoft PowerPoint class. Our technology literacy course is a constant (and a prerequisite for our other courses), while our Technology Center rotates its teaching of the various Microsoft Office applications each month.

Our Technology Center is also apart of Chicago's After School Matters initiative. Through the city's funding, we offer high-school aged students a course in "The Business of Web Design". The class teaches students about business and information systems through hands-on training and site visits within Chicago's Financial District - the "Loop". The students final project is to make a website for a local business or community organization. The class takes place throughout the school year as well as the summer semester. The next After School Matters class begins in July.
