LATI Project Plan

I figured I would keep a blog tracking my progress for this project. My basic idea is this: a small, intensive course for people (in my branch's community) who know absolutely nothing about computers.

The main librar (WCFL) offers similar courses, but people around here are usually reluctant to travel into the "big city" just to sit around with strangers and admit to being pretty, uh, challenged when it comes to computers. I would offer an hour-long class with about seven people, maximum, so everyone could get personalized assistance. There would also be print-outs they could take home and refer to.

I need to get an outline of what the class would consist of, what order I would go in and what materials I need to accumulate to get the ball rolling. I will also need to create my own PR to submit for advertisement. I am actually planning on implementing this at some point, so knowing that it will eventually come to fruition provides some extra motivation.
