Shared Resources - Links to Material...

Every instructor has their favorite internet links to training materials.  Here is a place where clients and volunteers alike can share their favorite links.  Please e-mail links you wish to share to the Learning Center Coordinator at dchristensen@hsvclc.org .

Learning can and should be fun!  Everyone learns in their own way and in their own time.  Once you learn to use the Internet and research using key words in the Internet Explorer Address Bar you will find many learning sites with many tutorials.  Learning about your computer and what you can do with it becomes exciting.  There is so much material available that you nearly drown in information.  It is like trying to get a drink from Niagara Falls. Below are some current links to try.  Some of these will change and others will become obsolete. If you find a link that is no longer available please notify the CLC Coordinator such that it can be removed.
