All Things Apple! with Beryn Hammil
All Things Apple! is an online class via Zoom.
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
You will then receive an invitation from Beryn and instructions on how to join the class.
Pre-registration is a requisite for each class.
Invitations to register are sent out each THURSDAY morning for the following week’s class.
You must register for each class.
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 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 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 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 YouTube link sent out before each class starts.
The time shown for all classes is Pacific Time; please adjust accordingly for where you are.
FEBRUARY CLASS SCHEDULE
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3rd – ZOOM, WIDGETS & CONTROL CENTER
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Let’s all get on the same page about how to register for classes, how to efficiently add the class to your calendar after registering, how to be reminded before class starts so you don’t miss the beginning, and how to cancel your reservation if your plans change. We’ll also review how to save the Invitation to Register and the Confirmation emails so you can easily retrieve them should you need to refer back to their contents.
We’ll also review the Widgets and Control Center functions on the Mac and iPhone, and how to organize your iPhone’s Home Screen to accommodate your Widgets.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10th – PHOTOS; Where they are in the app & organizing them
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
A popular topic, and one worth repeating as it seems that this area regularly changes where the functions are with each software upgrade.
As well, because we take sooo many photos, periodically it’s worth reviewing how to organize them so they’re easy to find.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17th – PHOTOS; some basic editing techniques
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Now that our photos are well-organized, let’s review how to make them look better.
We’ll review some basic editing techniques, as well as a few tips on how to take better photos so there’s better content to edit.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24th– NO CLASS THIS WEEK
