Smartphones can do much more than make calls and send texts, but many of their most useful features are easy to miss. In this class, we will explore practical smartphone tips and tricks that can make everyday use easier, safer, and more convenient.
This class is intended for people who already use a smartphone but would like to feel more comfortable and confident with it. Both iPhone and Android users are welcome. While the exact steps may differ by phone, many of the concepts are similar, and we will discuss differences when needed.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own smartphones and questions. The class will be informal, practical, and paced for real-life learning, with time to try things, ask questions, and discover features that may have been hiding in plain sight.
Note: This class will run in two 4 week sessions. Session 2 will be a repeat of Session 1. Register using this webpage to attend Session 2.
First session: 9/21, 9/28, 10/5, 10/19
