Baraga Telephone Company provided phone and local internet service along with other various services to a large rural area. I was hired to support the Director of Education. My responsibilities were to assist in creating curriculum using PowerPoint presentations and customized manuals to teach beginners how to use the internet, email, and the very basic functions of their computer. Teaching classes and assisting the other instructors during their classes was just as gratifying as putting the materials together. The very first classes were such a success that the program was expanded to include Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I created the step-by-step instruction manuals for beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes for all three of the Microsoft courses.
