Following on from my previous post, I have confirmed with the computer club that we are able to use their computer room on Saturdays.

Please click on this link to indicate if you would be able to attend catch up classes on Saturday mornings.

Update on classes

Hi everyone,

Good news and bad news. Good news is that I've been offered an 8 week contract with the local health service library where I have just finished placement! Bad news it I will be working on Tuesdays. I am currently speaking with the computer club to organise catch up days as I won't be able to teach the next two classes (2 September and 7 October). Stay tuned for details but I am thinking about Saturday morning or afternoon.

Later tonight I will send out the "how to" on setting up a nice Word document.

Thank you for your support,

Sally

Class on Tuesday 5 August

Hi all,

Unfortunately I need to cancel Tuesday's class. We will meet again in September. In the meantime, please stay tuned for a 'how to' create a pretty Word document tutorial in the next week or so here on the blog.

thanks,

Sally

Next class 8 July

Hi all,

Just a reminder that the next class is Tuesday 8 July. Bring your questions or email them to me before we meet.

See you soon,

Sally

Mac user group on 2 June

Yes that's right, Monday is the first Monday of the month so that means that Tuesday is the first Tuesday of the month which equals Mac User Group.

Bring your questions and ideas. I'll bring the terrible jokes.

It's the first Tuesday of the month tomorrow!

So that means we are meeting! Topic...let's try Pinterest again. I promise we won't get distracted organising Lorraine's holiday! Bring your organising ideas, see you at 10 am.

March class

(quote picture made with Canva!)

This morning we looked at Canva, a new graphic design tool similar to PicMonkey and had a tour around Pinterest.

Canva has some simple tutorials on good graphic design as well as a good help page (not quite a support line but better than nothing!)

The Pinterest basics page explains the ins and outs of Pinterest and is a good introduction if you're still not sure what it's all about. And the Goodies page has the link to set up a Pin It button in your web browser (just scroll down a little). There are also apps for iPad and iPhone if you are keen.

If you would like to improve your typing, I can recommend playing typing games (these games are on a children's website, but are great). I know, it sounds a bit odd, but games make learning fun! And if you want to improve your mouse skills, you can't go wrong with playing card games like Solitaire.

Next month we will spend the first hour (perhaps more) on Pinterest, setting up an account if you don't have one already, creating boards, finding people to follow and pinning from all over the internet. Even if you aren't that keen on being online, you can always just setup the account up for the day and then delete it.

One final link for when you're having a cuppa! See you in April. 

Sally
