​With over 30 people enrolling for Tech Savvy Beginners participants have been divided into two groups; Apple and Android.  There there will now be consecutive sessions for each group starting off with the Apple group.

So far we've looked at buttons and ports, logged onto to the U3A WiFi, added to the contact list and researched the Benalla U3A website.   We are learning to love our devices!

    Managing Money On-line   Our  'Be Connected - Managing Money Online' course in Semester 1 2023 used Be Connected Modules to explore banking online - paying bills, setting up a banking app, using the bank website, checking balances and statements and transferring money.  We also looked at PayPal and making online purchases. This course may be offered again in future.
