  Petaluma Adult School

  Jul 2003 - now

  Computer Applications Instructor

  I became a Petaluma School District staff member in July, 2003 and began teaching evening and Saturday computer classes for their Petaluma Adult School (PAS) in January, 2004. In January, 2007 I moved to PAS full time and now teach a variety of software programs Monday through Friday, mornings, afternoons, and evenings.Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007 applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Access) tend to attract career and technical education students (18 to 40), but some retired adults are also eager to advance their skills, using these programs for projects in a volunteer capacity.QuickBooks classes tend to be populated by current and prospective small business owners, managers, and bookkeepers who are keen to perform their business tasks quickly, accurately and efficiently. Basic Computer students learn skills and tasks from turning on the CPU and using the mouse to performing updates for a Windows XP or 7 operating system. The majority of these students are age 45 to 87 (my oldest thus far!) and have never used a computer.Internet and email students are a similar demographic to Windows (in fact many are the very same students!) and are also anxious to become familiar with all the activity on the WWW and communicate with loved ones.
