Our two sessions in April reinforced to us that there are a myriad of ways to achieve our preferred outcomes on our devices.
Firstly we looked at using the camera. Taking photos and selfies and then editing them. Then we looked at an issue that we all seem to have to deal with at some time – sorting all our photos. Deleting duplicates – out of focus pics – other unwanted photos. Once we had some of these sorted we created folders for our photos so we could deal with them as we wish. Just a reminder, if there is sufficient interest, in Semester 2 we will concentrate, and maybe even produce, a photo book or other product using our sorted photos.
Whilst focusing further on how to connect to the “BeConnected” website we were led down the path of passwords and security. We discovered how most of us are able to find our passwords if we have saved them at some stage in google. This is both a positive and a negative feature as we do get to use apps and passwords that we had forgotten about but it was pointed out how easily an unwanted third party could potentially find the same.
In May we will explore the world of scams, online shopping and the internet.
We continue to encourage class members to suggest topics and issues they would like help with.
