Tuesday, March 29, 2:00 – 3:30 pm – Tips & Tricks + Open Discussion / Q&A
The content of this class will be determined by whatever you want to learn and discuss, so have your questions ready…
Time shown for all classes is Pacific Time; please adjust accordingly for where you are.
Each topic will cover information for the Mac computer, iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
These class topics are put together based on input from students, and while some of these topics have been taught recently, there’s always something new to learn in each. The content of each topic description will be adhered to, but discussion is not limited to just what’s presented in this schedule as one thing often leads to another.
Doors for each class will open 15 minutes prior to that class starting and we will start on time. When the class capacity of 100 participants is reached in the live Zoom room, those who get “locked out” will be able to view the class by live streaming it on YouTube. This is called the “Balcony Section.” Those who are registered to participate by half past the hour prior to class starting will receive an email with the link to the live stream. It will be sent out within 15 minutes of the class starting. If you’re viewing the class from the balcony you will not be able to raise your hand to ask questions but can nonetheless learn something new.
At the end of each class participants can stay for a Q&A session about that or any other topic. Because many people leave at the formal end of class, those who are watching the class from the balcony section will be able to join the live after-class Q&A to have their questions answered. Simply go back to the original link you received to the join the Zoom class and use that to get in.
A link to a recap video of each class will be available so you can review material on YouTube, and you can build your own library of them, but you must participate in that class to receive access to it. Instructions for how to do this are given in the orientation email you received with your welcome packet as well as in the email for the live stream Zoom link sent out before each class starts.
If you know in advance that you have a specific question, please email Beryn no later than 4:00 PM (PDT) the day before the class so she can prepare the answer.
If you have any comments, recommendations for future class topics or content, I welcome your feedback. Send them to beryn@me.com.
