July - QR Codes and 'Connecting to Others' on Be Connected

1/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
Our Be Connected Program has been interrupted by Lockdowns and we managed to deliver one session this month.

​We looked at QR coding which stands for ‘Quick Response Code’. Then we began working through a new Be Connected Unit; ‘Connecting To Others’.

Hopefully we are able to keep in contact with friends and family during Lockdowns.

The telephone helps you do that, but computing technology can let you see each other online (mobile phone, tablet or computer) and even have a group chat or meeting.

    'Be Connected'

    Attention all members with portable computing devices, be they smart phones, tablets, iPads or laptops. Benalla's  Be Connected* courses are offered to members who would like to broaden their computing knowledge and increase their confidence using their smart phones, tablets, iPads and laptops. Internet access is provided by U3A.  If you don't have a suitable device, U3A have a limited number of iPads and tablets for borrowing.

    ​*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.  Click here to go to the Be Connected Topic Library.  See also ​The Ultimate Safety Guide for Seniors

    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.
