Why join a book club? Here are four reasons:

1. You read books you would never have thought of

reading (and you enjoy it!)

2. Some books just need to be discussed.

3. You meet interesting people.

4. It's fun!

Here's how it works: a month or so before the book club

meets, you register for the next meeting and you pick up

a copy of the book from JobLink. Read the book and

come to the discussion. (If you don't like the selection,

you don't have to participate that month.) Try it - you'll

like it! Prerequisites: None

Telecasted classes are live classes that are

also recorded and uploaded to the

Internet. This means that if students miss a

class or simply want to review the class,

they can watch it online at their

convenience 24 hours after the live

session has taken place. These classes meet

at Leon Lynch Learning Center and are

often broadcasted to other learning centers

around the country. Some

students opt to stream all the sessions,

which means they can just attend the class

by uploading the telecasted classes and

watching online. Participants still have the

opportunity to email instructors and get all

of their questions answered.

That’s the beauty of telecasting.

Taking and completing a course has

never been easier!

Telecasted classes are held on the second

floor of the Leon Lynch Center

at 1410 Broadway Avenue

more. Did you know that your existing TV or Smart TV

can be connected to the Internet without a computer

to stream Netflix shows, radio stations and all kinds of

digital entertainment? Save money on your cable bill

and have more choices, too! Attend this mini-class

Digital Forensics—How Did They Know

That?

Computers, cellphones, tablets, cars, pagers and cloud

investigators use this information to solve crimes.

Unfortunately hackers can use this information, too.

They can steal your digital identity and online

information. This course introduces students to

computer forensic tools and the methods used to

retrieve the digital crumbs left by your devices. Of

course, you will also learn techniques to protect

yourself when using digital devices. Students will have

hands-on laboratory experience using various digital

forensic tools. (2 hours study, 1 hour lab weekly)

iCloud and iTunes—Mini Class

Confused about the cloud and iTunes?

iTunes is Apple's media player and library

that they stay up-to-date. It works with iOS devices

(such as the iPad and iPhone), Macs, and even

Windows PCs. With iCloud, you'll no longer need to

connect your iOS device to your computer in order to

sync your files and settings; everything will stay in

sync using wireless. Bring your devices and let us help

you get your accounts set up and optimized. As a

bonus, this class will be available in the cloud for

download. Prerequisites: None
