Our sessions in June continued with topics from the ‘Grandparents’ resources on the Tech Savvy Drop in website–including sharing news with family and friends via Facetime and Skype. Sending photos via messaging and learning to use GPS on mobiles were among topics explored in small group work. Individual problem-solving requests included help with recording music on an iPad and iPhone and help in changing the formatting from one to two columns in a Word newsletter formatted document.
Margaret Walshe is continuing to provide one to one and in class mentoring for a number of members and is thrilled with the progress they are making. ‘Show and Tell’ included Dorothy proudly showing us her new iPad bought after trialling one of the Drop In’s iPads and Bev her new Chromecaster. A number of members have now purchased their own tablets, freeing iPads for circulation. Please let Bev know if you would like to trial an iPad.
There will continue to be separate two hour Android and Apple sessions in Semester II until mid-September, when there will be a change to a shorter combined Drop In followed by the opportunity in the second hour to take a ten week course in Google Apps.
