Registration is open for our April 18 FREE in-person Senior Planet technology skills class for older adults. This session will focus on smartphone photography with a workshop on using Google Photos. The class will be from 9:45 AM to 12:15 PM at the RSVP offices located at 6501 Watts Road, Suite 250, Madison.
In the first segment of the class, we’ll discuss common camera icons and controls on Android and iPhone devices, simple editing tools, managing and sharing your photos, and editing date and location details on your phone. We’ll also go over how to check your camera settings so that it can scan QR codes.
The second segment will be a practical workshop using Google Photos. This hands-on workshop explores some of the basic features of the Google Photos app and will walk you through the steps of backing up your photos on your smartphone or mobile device to Google Photos. You’ll also learn how to create an album and share it. There is one prerequisite: you must have a Gmail address and be somewhat comfortable navigating the internet. Bring your Gmail username and password and be ready to sign in during the workshop. If you don’t have a Gmail account, set one up for at least this class.
Space is limited to 10 participants, so please register only if you are very certain you will attend. When registrants do not show up, it prevents someone else from attending and benefiting from the class. We will have coffee, tea, and donuts starting at 9:45 AM, with the class commencing promptly at 10:00 AM. A light lunch will be served at 12:15 PM. You can register by clicking HERE. The class is available online from time to time at SeniorPlanet.org.
