CLASSES
Optimizing Windows 10 During Village Restrictions, and After Instructor: Jack Schnabel – Class – 3 weeks Mondays 10:00 am to 12:00 pm January 18, 2021 through February 1, 2021 Windows 10 continues to evolve and improve, although users can retain an earlier image of some complexity. But with the practical hands-on nature of this class, you will see it is getting both easier to use, and more adaptable to your needs and preferences. This class will give you experience in modifying the available Windows settings to adjust for your ease of use. Your settings can be personalized, and your screen can become more comfortable to view. In addition to these settings, we will review other important settings to help you be online with up-to-date protections against malware. I will go at a moderate pace, and always have time for questions. There will be two class meetings for instruction, and a third meeting that will be open to address any questions you have about your individual Windows 10 computer set up. Microsoft Word A New Platform and Way to Learn and Grow Instructor: Linda Engdahl – Class - 4 weeks Wednesdays 10:00 to 12:00 pm January 20. 2021 through February 10, 2021 Want to try something new? I am offering a class on Microsoft Word which will be developed according to your needs. You'll let me know what you want to learn, and I'll prepare each session accordingly. This one will be online, so we'll learn & grow together, in a new way. We'll start with the basics and then go into the things you've wanted Word to do for you, but just haven't been able to conquer. This will be a 3-week course, with a 4th as a possibility, if we need "just one more class." Let's have some FUN while we work through this crazy time of life. And guess what? No masks needed! YAY!

SIGs
The Gig Economy and You Instructor: Paul Kratzer – SIG CONTENT SAME BOTH DATES Thursday January 21, 2021 from 10:00 to 12:00 pm OR Saturday January 23, 2921 from 10:00 to 12:00 pm Are you interested in making a little extra money? Interested in doing part time or occasional work, sharing your skills and knowledge with other Laguna Woods residents? If you are thinking Yes to any of these questions, then come to our SIG on the Gig Economy to learn more about the Gig Economy and You. We’ll begin by describing what Gig is and go from there. A Practical Guide to Reducing Your Digital Footprint Instructor: Yori Neumark – SIG Tuesday January 26, 2921 from 10:00 to 12:00 pm Today most of us have multiple devices that are constantly connected to the internet and are constantly leaking and disclosing information about us – typically without our consent or knowledge. We allow total strangers to gather anything they want regarding us, our families, our friends, and the friends of our friends - from our location to where and what we buy, our age, political affiliation, sexual preferences, medical information and much more. You have the ability to take back (some) control, and rein-in most of this drip-drip leakage of your most sensitive and personal information by correctly setting up your applications, devices and/or home network, as well as rethinking the importance of your participation in “Social Networks” i.e., Facebook, Instagram etc. FREE TAX PROGRAMThe PC Club will be sponsoring the Free Tax Program for
