All Things Apple! with Beryn Hammil
If you are new to All Things Apple! and would like to get on the contact list for classes, please email Librarian, Bonnie Groshong at: bonnie.groshong@cityofsanrafael.org
Instructor Beryn Hammil will email you a welcome packet that includes detailed instructions on how to participate in the live Zoom meeting, stream from YouTube, or receive recap videos. You must register in advance on Zoom each week for each class you want to attend. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing links for joining the meeting 15 minutes before class.
Each topic will cover information for the Mac computer, iPhone, iPadand the Apple Watch (as appropriate). These class topics were 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 ofeach 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 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 learn something new nonetheless.
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 recap video of each class will be available so you can review material on YouTube, and youcan 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 YouTube link sent out before each class starts.
Pre-registration is a requisite for each class. Invitations to register are sent out eachTHURSDAY morning for the following week’s class, and you must register for each class.
The time shown for all classes is Pacific Time; please adjust accordingly for where you are.
ALL THINGS APPLE – ZOOM CLASSES – JUNE 2023 SCHEDULE
SHORT MONTH, BASIC TOPIC
As we move into the summer months when our minds are mostly on other things, we’ll haveonly two classes this month, and a class picnic!
Because switching back and forth between the iPhone and iPad is not do-able during our Zoomclass, whatever the discussion and demonstration is for the iPhone, it’s usually applicable to the
iPad too.
TUESDAY, JUNE 6th – NO CLASS
TUESDAY, JUNE 13th– SECURITY, PRIVACY & OUR DIGITAL LEGACY
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Beyond knowing how to stay safe online, the next thing to know is how to protect your
online privacy. Apple has given us many tools to ensure that our information isn’t being
taken for granted by websites and apps. Learn more about this important topic. We’ll also
touch on the topic of your “digital legacy,” as in, “What happens to your digital stuff
when you’re no longer able to manage it yourself?”
TUESDAY, JUNE 20th – CLASS PICNIC
11:30 -2:30
TEMELEC HALL
220 Temelec Circle
Sonoma, CA
RSVP “Yes” only to Kay Baker; kaybakerca@outlook.com
Please let her know what food you’d like to bring to share
TUESDAY, JUNE 27th – TIPS & TRICKS, Q & A + OPEN DISCUSSION
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
We’ll review a few of many little things that can enhance your experience on each device. I’ll
run through a short list so you’ll learn how to be even more efficient and feel more accomplished
with your Apple devices.
Your burning questions will be addressed too, and there’s always time for a discussion about this
or that.
Please Note: There will be no All Things Apple classes in July and August. See you in September.
