To develop understanding of 'Apps', Be Connected presenter Jenny Sawyer worked through examples of shopping online using both the Target website and App, while Be Connected mentor Pat Treleaven described her experiences online shopping with Woolworths. Pat emphasised that you can't just buy eg. three items, the total must be at least $50. For more information about 'Apps' check out the following 'Be Connected' units:

With just over half an hour left, and following a brief coffee break, time was spent working on individual learning needs, including shopping on line and setting up and using QR codes. We also checked out the photos taken last week (see the post below.)

Two sessions remain of this 6 session program. Members of the course are, however, eligible for at least 2 hours of one-to-one mentoring to meet individual learning needs during the course. A number of people have already had, or booked in for, one to one help. Learning needs have ranged from learning to make calls and texts from a new mobile phone to transferring photos from a phone to a laptop so that space can be made available on the mobile phone.
We were fortunate today to have Jenny Sawyer, presenter of Be Connected and Tech Savvy Beginners (Apple Devices), and Robyn Lukey, presenter of Tech Savvy Beginners (Android Devices) assisting as mentors. Over the next two weeks we will explore 'next steps' following the course, with students definitely having the option of moving on to Jenny and Robyn's classes.
Next week's session will include a segment by Dorothy Webber on buying and selling online through Benalla Swap and Sell (and similar programs).
