In an increasingly digital world, the importance of fostering computer literacy cannot be overstated. This need is precisely what the South Central Rural Telecommunications Cooperative, Inc. (SCRTC) is addressing through its new partnership with the Mary Wood Weldon Memorial Library. On November 14, from 10 AM to 12 PM, a Windows 11 class will take place, specifically tailored for community members eager to enhance their tech skills.

Why Windows 11?​

Windows 11, launched with a refined interface and enhanced features, aims to create a seamless user experience. With the ever-growing reliance on technology, understanding how to navigate Windows 11 can remove barriers to access and improve digital communication. For many, it might feel like learning a foreign language; fun, but deeply confusing without guidance! SCRTC is stepping up as the translator for this prevalent tech dialect.
Ryan Pace, the SCRTC Data and Business Supervisor, emphasizes the relevance of such classes in today’s tech-driven environment. "Today’s society relies heavily on technology, and we know there can be a wide range of questions," he notes. As tech continues to evolve at a lightning pace, having qualified professionals available to demystify these systems is invaluable.

Class Details: What to Expect​

The upcoming class is more than just a lecture; it's a hands-on opportunity to dive into the functionalities of Windows 11, from basic navigation to exploring the new features that can enhance productivity and enjoyment. Participants have the flexibility to bring their own laptops—perfect for those who want a personalized learning experience—though library devices will also be available.
What can you expect during the session? Imagine sitting in a cozy library space, sipping on refreshments while tech-savvy facilitators walk you through Windows 11’s features. You’ll learn about:
  • The redesigned Start Menu, and how to make it uniquely yours.
  • Multitasking with Snap layouts—think of it as arranging your digital workspace as smoothly as you’d set up a physical desk.
  • Microsoft Teams integration, perfect for that seamless virtual meet.
It’s a comprehensive overview designed to equip users with practical skills, ensuring they leave with increased confidence in their technological abilities.

The Windows 11 class is open to the public, ensuring accessibility for everyone in the community. Interested individuals can register by contacting the Mary Wood Weldon Memorial Library at (270) 651-2824 or by navigating to their events tab on the library’s website at WeldonPublicLibrary.org/events.
This initiative not only serves the immediate purpose of educating attendees about Windows 11 but also illustrates a broader commitment to community engagement and the digital empowerment of citizens.

While technological advancements proceed at breakneck speed, opportunities like this class help bridge the digital divide faced by many. SCRTC’s partnership with the Mary Wood Weldon Memorial Library embodies a proactive approach to tech education, paving the way for more knowledgeable and engaged communities.
