This month we revised researching the internet through the Safari App. Two of the best links in helping you with operating your device are:
  • Stating the problem in the Google search bar and then choosing a site.
  • Be Connected - Topic Library

We revised entering events into the Calendar App and also discovered that birthdays were automatically listed from your Contacts List.

But the birth date has to first be entered in the Contact List Mickey Mouse was our practice contact-

He is going to turn 92 on May 15th 2020!
 
A great discovery was being able to put the U3A Benalla website directly onto the home screen of an iPad or iPhone. It really was very easy!
​
We all had great fun discovering many of the features in the Camera App. This is a 10 second time lapse photo of the group taken with the ‘front camera’.

Our last session was spent looking at the Email App focussing on writing, attaching photos and sending.
