FREE WORKSHOPS

The Computer

  • Personalize Your Desktop – You have a Windows or Mac Computer and you want to make the desktop your own by adding some photos of your family, pets, or your favorite vacation place. Make the icons larger or rearrange them. Add some shortcuts of apps or websites that you use often. Join us for a free workshop. Bring your laptop or practice on our Windows computers.
  • Buying a Desktop, Laptop, or Tablet – You’re ready to buy a new desktop, laptop, or tablet computer, but there are so many choices and so many salespeople who would like to make that choice for you. How do you get information, avoid the sales pressure, and decide wisely? Through this presentation, of course. Your choice will be based on a number of factors, including what you’ll be using the device for, its performance, your experience, and your budget. Join SeniorNet’s free workshop to learn how to make the best choice for your computing needs as well as experience the various computing devices mentioned. First listen to the seminar, then join us for a hands-on session to answer your questions about the devices, and we’ll show you the differences between them.

Mobile Devices

  • iPad: Dazzling Apps – The iPad is one of the most successful computer products in history. Much of its popularity is due to the more than 2 million apps that users can download, many of which are free. Join us for a free workshop to learn about apps that take advantage of the iPad’s unique multimedia and display abilities. This will include educational, reading (e-books and e-magazines), and entertainment apps. Students are encouraged to bring their iPad to this workshop.
  • iPhone & iPad: Using as an e-Reader – The iPad and iPhone are great devices for reading books, magazines, and newspapers – in fact, in many ways, it’s superior to traditional ink on paper. You’ll also learn how to download e-books and audio books from your library using Libby, the new app from Overdrive. Learn to enjoy the ease of an e-reader right from your iPad or iPhone.

Zoom

  • Zoom: An Introduction: Zoom, a video chat program, is a great way to connect with others! And it’s so easy! Zoom accounts are free and we will get you started with your own account. You will learn how to use a link to join a meeting and how to set your audio and video for the event.
