Our Windows 10 Classroom
(Click on photos for a larger view)
Our classroom is located in the Wilmington Senior Resource Center,
2222 S College Rd, Wilmington, NC 28403, view map here.
We're using recently purchased models of Dell Inspiron computers with Windows 10 installed and Dell 22" Monitors; all the student furniture has been recently replaced.
The 10-student classroom is divided in half, 6 computer stations on the left and 4 on the right; the Instructor station sits in the middle with a ceiling-mounted projector.
As you can see, 2 students share a computer table with a 3rd chair between, this is where our coaches sit. The coaches are an integral part of the class, you can imagine the difficulty of keeping 10 students in sync over 4 days (10 hours) with the material and directions if there was only an Instructor.
Our coaches come from a wide variety of backgrounds, many are former students who maintained an ongoing interest in the use of computers and wished to share their time, others are local seniors who are interested in giving their time by volunteering at the Senior Center with an interest in computers. The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) in the Senior Center is a very active and integral part of all the services and activities offered there (updated 9/24/2018).
Our Computer Center is open every Friday morning year-round from 9:00 - 11:00 AM for class registrations and for interviewing those interested in being an Instructor or Coach, all are welcome.
Stop in and see us sometime.
