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!

At the excellent suggestion of one of our participants, I am giving you the Notes for last Friday's session, as well as those for the two final upcoming sessions. That way, you can read ahead if you want to be better prepared.

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.

The iPad Basics sessions begin in the same room, Eureka 106, on Oct. 23. If you have not signed up and want to, do it now!

Sept. 18: Number Three

Hi iPhone Basics folks,
The Notes for the third session (Call management, etc.) are here.
These are for session three, even though it says two at the top! Ranny and Mary changed presentation places. And you will notice that there are other things covered here that Mary did not do on Friday. Consider those a bonus and try them out!
See you all Friday.
