Empowering Madison County with Google Tools


In the ongoing effort to enhance digital literacy across Western North Carolina with WNC Communities, we recently hosted a highly successful Google training session at the Center Community Center in Madison County with Patsy as the host. This session, held on June 21, 2024, focused on mastering Google Calendars, a vital tool for personal and professional organization.

Our third class in this series was designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to effectively manage their schedules and coordinate events using Google Calendars. The session saw an enthusiastic turnout, with community members eager to leverage these digital tools for greater productivity.

The Center Community Center, with its warm and welcoming atmosphere, provided the perfect setting for our interactive workshop. As participants gathered in the well-equipped space, they were able to engage directly with the training materials and receive hands-on guidance.

The picturesque surroundings of Madison County, highlighted by the quaint and charming porch outside the center, added a special touch to the event. The rustic charm of the venue, combined with the modern digital tools being taught, created a unique and memorable learning experience.

We are committed to continuing these educational initiatives, helping bridge the digital divide and empowering our community members with essential digital skills. Stay tuned for more updates and upcoming classes designed to enhance your digital literacy and make technology work for you.

Let's continue building a digitally savvy community together!
