Technology Lunch Bunch Meets Sept. 25

There used to be a comedian who said, "Have I got a deal for you!" That's what I'm going to say to you now! If you want to find out more about how your child is doing in school, then this meeting is for you. On Tuesday, September 25, a new group called the Technology Lunch Bunch will meet at noon in the Willcoxen Auditorium here at the library. These informal monthly meetings are aimed at expanding the library's free technology training for patrons. The first program, "Parent Connect," will be presented by Emily Nichols, director of information and instructional technology for the Colquitt County Board of Education. "Parent Connect" is an online application that is used by the Colquitt County schools to allow parents to track their child's grades, discipline and attendance. Participants need to contact their child's school in advance to get a password for the "Parent Connect" secure website so that they can explore the program while at the library. The presentation will be 45 minutes and computers will be available with help for 30 minutes after the program. Reservations can be made by calling the library at 985-6540. Bring a lunch and join us. And you might want to put these upcoming Technology Lunch Bunch programs on your calendar: October 23, Family History; November 13, Online Sites for Children and Parents. Plan ahead now for an hour or so of useful information. . .courtesy of your local library.
