[Genealib] Online Genealogy Class

[Sandy Day]

I am adding two new classes to my calendar to teach next year:

Internet Genealogy for beginners which will include some of what you all have mentioned plus others of course.

I decided to do a seperate class just for Ancestry Library Edition and Heritage Quest. Showing how to use these two sites effectively will fill up two hours. We have a small conference room that holds 6 computers so our classes will be small and I can help them better hopefully.

Speaking of classes- I am also adding another new class I will teach next year-Digging up your House history. So many people ask me how to do a house history that I decided it was time to do this. 
My two cents worth for what its worth.

  I did one recently.  It takes a couple of hours and I go through effective ways to searching the general Internet, plus Ancestry/Heritage Quest, then expand to look at national sites (USGenweb), followed by exciting state sites.

    Our patron's are asking for a class about searching online for their ancestors.  My question is has anybody done a class about searching online?  I use online sources all the time, I'm just not sure how to go about teaching it.  Any suggestions?  Does each person have a computer or do you do more of a demonstration on a big screen?  
    By the way I just did a basic genealogy class for the first time on October 25th.  It was a big hit!  Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and encouragement.
