Now's the time --

So, we all seem to have some extra time on our hands these days. Even with things starting to open up, many of us are still being cautious. You may need something to fill some time - maybe you haven't gone back to work yet, or you need some new ideas. Have you ever thought about - or taken any online classes? There are tons of things available - and now with many schools and universities being closed due to Covid, many colleges are offering free or deeply discounted courses.

So - maybe now is the time to try something new. Maybe that is a fun course - like a course at edX about Star Trek, or something more serious like learning Spanish, or courses on resume writing and job hunting. Coursera is offering free certificates for over 100 classes. Below are some links to sites offering free courses. Check them out -- maybe there is something you've been interested in checking out, or something to further your understanding at your current job, or a new hobby. The possibilities are endless. Most are self-paced.
