April - revision, 'copying/cutting' and 'pasting' and more!

28/4/2018

0 Comments

 
​This month we revised using the calendar, the contact list and sending emails with photos attached on our iPads and phones.

​We then looked further into the options bar that appears in emails when you hold your finger on the screen.


We discovered: Select, Select All, Insert Photo or Video.

Then after selecting text in an email we could use a new bar of options such as:

Cut, Copy, Bold, Italics and Underline.

So many choices!
​
Most participants managed to select copy and paste text from an email to a new email page.

Next session, Wednesday 2nd May, we are running a forum with guest presenter Margaret Jenkins (Convenor of the Investment Group) on banking and payments online.

Unfortunately the Week 3 Session of Tech Savvy Beginners Apple on Wednesday 16th May is cancelled.  A make-up session will be held in week 5 on Wednesday 30th May.

Tech Savvy Beginners will then continue Wednesday 6th June.

March - Emails, cameras, attaching photos and calendars

7/4/2018

0 Comments

 
​In March we worked at sending emails. We used the camera app and took photos. We then found  the photos in the photos app to attach to emails and send to our new contact ‘Jenny Uthreea’.

Finally we looked at the Calendar app and entered some events, one being the cancellation of our next Tech Savvy Beginners session on Wednesday 4th April.  Our next session will be on Wednesday 18th April.
