SeniorNet Overview
The SeniorNet Learning Center of Wheeling opened its doors in
September, 2002.
It started out as a joint program sponsored by the Village of
Wheeling Pavilion Senior Center and the Palatine Township Senior
Citizens Council. It was established to teach computer skills to
older adults (50 or over) in a understandable, enjoyable and
friendly way. Taught by all senior volunteers, we use PC
compatible computers with Windows XP, MS Word software for
teaching word processing, MS Works for Spreadsheets and
Database. In addition, we offer classes on the Internet, Print
Shop (graphics) Quicken (home accounting) Family Tree Maker
(genealogy) Digital Camera and Windows.
Since September of 2004 we are now totally sponsored by the
Village of Wheeling and have taught over 400 students .
Our class fee is $35.00 which includes all class materials
for a 8 week class.
The SeniorNet program is a national membership organization
so membership is encouraged but not required. Annual membership
fee is $40.00.
SeniorNet is supported by memberships. Benefits of your

mission to bridge the digital divide for older adults.
