Windows 8 Class at Rock Crusher Canyoun

Bettyann talks about transitioning to Window 8
Windows 8 really isn't that difficult but it is a big change for many people who purchase a new computer.  Having someone spend an hour telling them the basic and the folks at Rock Crusher Canyon were a lot more confident using it.  They also got very excited about some of the Windows 8 apps that weren't available in earlier versions of Windows.  Apps like Google Search that allow you to talk to the computer and let it do your searches were very popular as were new games like the Free Sudoku app.
We also spent an hour answering questions and addressing individual concerns people had with things they were trying to accomplish with their computer.  Overall, a very successful class. It is always nice when people leave the classroom and tell you how much they have learned and how much they appreciate opportunity to learn.
