WOW Computer Training In Southern Idaho

On March 11th and 12th, 1999, the USWest WOW (Widening Our World) van came to teach internet classes to after school program children and parents, local elementary students, community members, and UI staff and faculty in southern Idaho.  These classes covered internet history, internet hardware and software, web browsers, educational web sites, and search engines.   Classes were tailored toward their respective audiences, with kids classes containing fun children's web sites and adult classes containing more emphasis on search engines and finding good resources on the web.

WOW instructors Matt Schoenfeldt and Aisa Jenkins gave friendly, expert seminars and even handed out free internet training booklets and mouse pads.  A total of 81 students and 16 adults received this internet training, which is given free of charge to small communities in Idaho.  If you would like the WOW van to come to your community, send email to WOW schedule master John Olsen. 

Here are a few pictures from the Gooding, Shoshone, and Dietrich seminars.
