Today we gave the group an introduction to Windows 10, including:-
After last week’s introductory lesson, we spent today discussing the group’s Lesson Plans and giving them a tour of the outside of their Tablet (sockets, switches etc).
Today we began the first of three lessons covering the essentials of word-processing. Guess what? Part Two next week!
Following-on from last week’s initial Lesson, today, we discussed more about a typical Laptop keyboard. We also looked at the Windows 10 ‘Tiles’ layout and how to customise the look.
Lucky me! My Technology Classes are now full. We have a full complement of willing Learners for my Monday Laptop Class, Tuesday Laptop Class and Tuesday Tablet Class.
If you’d like to be added to the waiting list, please drop-in to the Salvation Army in Rothwell and speak to Majors David or Julie and take away the application form.
I estimate that new Classes will begin later this year – probably August.
Today, we welcomed another new Class* – Tom, Sue, Chris, Janet & Ann.
For the next 20 or so weeks, I will be helping them to get the most out of their Android Tablets.
*Not to be confused with the other new Class that started last week 🙂
Today, we looked at the power and flexibility of ‘Google Maps’, including newer features such as ‘Bus Timetables’ and ‘Location Sharing’.
After last week’s introductory lesson, today, we presented the group with their proposed Lesson Plans.
We also took a detailed look at a typical Windows Laptop Keyboard – including the functions of the lesser-known (but very useful) keys.
‘Alt Gr’ key anyone??? 🙂 🙂
With some of the Class on holiday this week, we used today’s double-Lesson to offer 1-to-1 guidance for ‘all things laptop’ to the rest of the group – Wendy, Bill, Charles and Dave.
