For so many people, there is a fear of using the devices that we’ve all come to depend on. We often feel helpless about our technology, or we only scratch the surface--sticking to the functions we know. Or worse, we give up. Instructor Jim Keen will host two fun and productive sessions to help you remove that fear and start enjoying your technology. In the first session, “Keeping in Touch with Your Family and Friends Using Video Chat,” we’ll explore the various apps available, demonstrate how to use them, and examine which are best suited for you. In the second session, “Getting the Most Out of Your iPhone and iPad,” we’ll examine how to use some of the more useful functions of smartphones and tablets: camera & photo features, navigation, news & info services, and social media.

Jim earned his A.B. in Communication and M.A. in Educational Studies from the University of Michigan. He has been heavily involved in educational technology and studying the different ways in which people learn. He is the owner of Keen Focus Technology Tutoring.

The study group will be held on Monday's on November 9 and 16. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
