New page

The Advanced Adoption class was designed for adoption volunteers receiving their new computers who:
* Regularly use computers, either currently or in the near-past (perhaps in school, in an office environment, or at the library multiple times per week),
* Are comfortable accessing and using their email account,
* Are comfortable using the internet, and
* Have used some office software like a word processor or spreadsheet program.

In order to be sure that the volunteers who attend the advanced adoption class meet these requirements (and so that all students in both classes can feel appropriately challenged and empowered), the following questions should be asked at the front desk when volunteers are signing up for their getting started class:

*'''Do you have an email address?'''
**'''What is it?'''
*** ''The student should have used their email recently enough to remember their address.''
*'''Which program have you used most to get onto the internet?'''
**''They should be familiar with their web browser: Internet explorer, Firefox, etc.''
*'''If you already know what website you'd like to visit, where would you type in the web address in your browser?'''
**''Again, testing internet use.''
* If you have time, '''Have you used a word processing program before? For what kind of project?'''
