August - Apple users - 'Money on Your Device' and 'Travel'

16/8/2017

0 Comments

 
It is great to be in the new premises and be able to demonstrate some computing tips and watch instructional films on the new computer via the smart TV.

This month there were two Apple sessions.  The first session was about money on your device.  We had Margaret Jenkins (Investment) as a guest speaker talking about banking online.  Bev demonstrated purchasing online and Jenny paid her Telstra bill online.

The second session was devoted to travel.  We all enjoyed spending our virtual dollars on virtual travel within Australia and abroad.  Each participant researched the web to cost a one week trip to Brisbane for flights, accommodation and some sight seeing, spending between $1000 and $2000.  We then chose another destination to spend even more virtual dollars on some virtual travel; ranging from Darwin to Hong Kong to Helsinki to Edinburgh.

In September there will be two more Apple device sessions – Wednesday 6th and Wednesday 20th September – looking at leisure activities.

    'Be Connected'

    ​*Be Connected is U3A Benalla's response to an Australian Government initiative comprising online learning modules which help to make the most out of being online.   

    ​​U3A Benalla's involvement with 'Be Connected' and 'The Good Things Foundation' results in links to resources and funding opportunities, including for a 'Get Online' event in October each year.
