The focus in the final course session was the role You Tube videos can play in helping to meet our learning needs as life-long learners. The Be Connected program is also a wonderful resource for life-long learners and is increasingly being used by participants as an ongoing form of training.
The Drop In component of the course began on Thursday 8th July. With school holidays and grandparenting duties affecting some class members and mentors, Janet, Rina and Shirley were able to have lots of one-on-one mentoring throughout the session, helping them to achieve their goals for the day and more! A final Drop-In session was held in the now available small classroom opposite the U3A meeting room Thursday 29 July.
We have now come to the end of the ‘On Target’ short course. Some class members have taken up the option of proceeding on to Tech Savvy Beginners – Apple and/or Android; Be Connected and other U3A courses.
Finally, a memorable comment made by Shirley during Drop In .... 'You know, before I did this course, when I saw people focusing and tapping away on their mobiles, I thought they were being rude. Now I'm doing it myself!'
