FEW SPOTS REMAIN IN JAN. 21 INTERNET CLASS FOR BEGINNERS

Eight spots remain in the Jan. 21 beginning Internet class offered by the Southeast Missourian web staff.

The class will be held from 1-3 p.m. in Dempster Hall, on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University. The university is a co-sponsor of the community training.

The evening class on Jan. 12 is filled, but a waiting list has been established.

Individuals interested in taking the class should call Joni Adams or Peggy Scott at 335-661 to register. Payment of $10 must be made before the class starts, and can be mailed or dropped by the newspaper at 301 Broadway.

Members of the online staff at the Southeast Missourian first began offering the classes last spring, and then reintroduced them in August. The same class is offered twice each month, and has been a sell-out each time. Participants have ranged in age from 8 to 94.

In addition, individuals can also sign up for a repeat of the class on Feb. 9 class from 7-9 p.m., or Feb. 18 from 1-3 p.m.

The class is geared to beginners who want to learn more about the Internet and World Wide Web. Practical surfing tips will be offered along with a number of handouts and a free gift.

Six staff members from SEMissourian.com, the official web site of the Southeast Missourian, will be on hand to direct students.

Each class is limited to 38 people, since each person has his/her own computer.

Future classes will be held on the second Monday and third Wednesday of each month.
