Computer Technology Help for Seniors

This monthly program helps you get more out of your laptop, tablet, or phone. Each session begins with a helpful feature, followed by open time to work through real questions—so everyone learns together. Bring your challenges and leave with solutions!

The past topics include:

• Zoom accessibility feature (zooming in the screen, not Zoom, the video call software)
• Email inboxes (Gmail specifically) and how you can turn on or off the automatic sorting feature
• Sharing photos between your phone and computer
• Turning off notifications for apps you don't want spamming your phone with unnecessary notifications
• Identifying how much storage is available on your device
• Password managers and their safety/security
• Siri activation and features, such as opening apps, making calls, sending texts, and setting reminders.
• Transferring photos from iPad to computer (either by using iCloud, or by plugging in), then transferring to a hard drive
• Clearing your browsing history and cookies, what cookies are, and what options to choose when a site asks for cookie permissions
• Adding/editing Outlook contacts
• Adding WhatsApp contacts

Please bring any device you would like help with making more accessible.
