Feedback for 2012 classes

I'm hoping everyone will have a spare 2 minutes to answer these 3 quick questions which help me with planning for next year.

See you next Monday for our last class of the year.

planning for 2013

Hi everyone,

This morning we talked about what the morning class will be doing in 2013. Now that I have the dates I've put together a rough plan. Please let me know what you think via comments at the bottom of this post.

Term 1

• Week 1, 4 February: Pages
• Week 2, 11 February: Pages
• Week 3, 18 February: Word for Mac
• Week 4, 25 February: Word for Mac
• 4 March: SCCCC Meeting
• Week 5, 11 March: File Management (need to think of a snazzier name for this!)
• Week 6, 18 March: Web Search Skills
• 25 March: Easter Monday
• Week 7, 1 April: iPhoto
• Week 8, 8 April: iPhoto

For those who weren't able to come this morning, you are welcome to attend all of the classes or just the ones that suit you.

A bit of news from Beverley: the club has received a grant to purchase two Macbooks that we will be able to use!

tomorrow's class

Just a quick message to remind everyone that classes are on tomorrow. The morning session will be on Pages/Microsoft Word and we will be working through formatting and creating a basic document.

See you then.

Info from today's AM class

Hi all,

We covered quite a bit this morning including: Address book groups and Word for Mac and Pages.

We looked at:

Urban Dictionary to keep up to date with all the weird language grandkids and kids are using these days!

Macquarie Dictionary

And also Pinterest.

Dates and topics for the next few weeks are:

5/11 - no classes as it is the Computer Club's General Meeting. 10.30 am at Kincumber Pub.
12/11 - will be a full session on Word for Mac and Pages. We will create a document and learn formatting, page layout and inserting images.
19/11 - welcome to Pinterest! Setting up an account, following, pinning and exploring.
26/11 - we will tackle iPhoto again.

See you in a fortnight!
