iPad
This group has helped over 200 u3a members learn how to use their iPads. The Group’s Convenor has changed but the focus is still on complete beginners but also for those members who want to build up more confidence in their use of technology.
The tutorials will be cover the basics, such as:
- Operating an iPad and using it safely
- Setting up and using an email account
- Using the internet
- Taking and managing photos
- Setting up and using contact lists (name & address book)
- Saving and retrieving files, letters, forms, etc
- Exploring suitable apps (software applications/programmes) to use on an iPad
Whenever possible the group will look at other topics that members request. Where people have individual issues, there may be an opportunity for one to one help.
The overall aim is to try to empower new iPad users to develop their confidence enabling them to solve problems by using suitable self-help books and to access further learning material on the internet, such as finding suitable video tutorials and support websites.
The sessions will be held on Monday mornings in six weekly blocks for groups of approximately eight members at a time. Wherever possible the group’s members will be matched with other members with similar learning needs.
