Spring Rooms for both classes

Spring 2017

---

Hi folks,
The room for both iPhone Basics and iPad Basics will be Eureka 105.

Note for those who want to sign up for both (consecutive) classes. The online system doesn't allow you to do both, since they occupy the same time slot. So if you want both, sign up now for iPhone Basics. Then when the semester is about half done, we'll give you the signal and you can sign up for iPad Basics. It won't matter then that the system will kick you off iPhone Basics!

iPhone Basics Spring 2017

Welcome to the class, everyone! We are back after a one-semester absence.

Each week we will cover these topics, but we might adjust the schedule depending on requests and time. General Notes for each week are available, although they are a year old and might not be exactly the same as what is covered! They will give you some general info. See the links for the notes for each week (they are PDFs).

Here are Number Four, Number Five and Number Six.

Remember, after the sixth session on Oct. 9, we will have an open session on Oct. 16 in the same word. We can talk about basic differences between your phone and iPad plus answer other questions or do some reviews if needed.
