An informal group of computer professionals and other interested people, who gather monthly to learn about computers and networks, and get to know each other

Our next meeting is Tuesday, September 8th  7pm – 8:30 pm on Zoom– please join us!

1. We will continue our learning about the Simple as Possible (“SAP-1”) computer created by Malvino, to deepen our understanding of exactly how a computer works at the most fundamental level

2. We’ll discuss online learning, and explore some of the learning opportunities on the Internet, noting their strengths and weaknesses.  We’ll look at W3Schools, Youtube videos, Wikipedia, the Internet Archive, DuoLingo, Math Planet, Khan Academy and commercial courses. Please come and share your favorites and your concerns.

 

3. The pros and cons of  books on Kindle, and other alternatives for getting access to good books and documents, including the Internet Archive and Librivox.org.
