Lenawee PC Users Group program presented Monday, October 17, 2011 , at the Lenawee County Library.
The program spent about an hour looking at the possibilities that exist for continuing our education using fantastic resources that are available just for the clicking.

I suggest that the same case could be made for education. After we have experienced a bit of life, organizing our thinking about a given area is greatly enhanced by gaining further education.
There are so many top universities offering free programs on the web that there are websites that organize the courses. We can use these websites to our advantage in finding a course on something we would like to know about. Course vary from simply written materials, to audio lectures, audio-visual presentations, and full animated presentations using Adobe Flash and Java Scripts.
