The Computer Learning Center at Ewing (Ewing Senior and Community Center, 999 Lower Ferry Road, Ewing, NJ) is again offering a two-session course on iPad Basics for those 50 and older. This four-hour course, which costs $10, is designed to launch first-time owners into a comfort zone with their iPads. You donʼt need any computer background in order to take this class.   All you will need is your iPad, already registered and working.  The course will cover the various parts of the iPad, what a user sees on the screen, how to use the basic hand gestures, and some of the applications.

If you are interested, please contact the CLC Registrar at 609-882-5086 and place your name on the waiting list. Or do it on-line at CLC's website. Get Directions to CLC.

The Computer Learning Center at Ewing (Ewing Senior and Community Center, 999 Lower Ferry Road, Ewing, NJ) is offering a new three-session course on iPad Apps and Books for those 50 and older. This six-hour course, which costs $15, is a continuation of the iPad Basics course. The fun continues as you learn how to find, install, and update those apps that will make the iPad your personalized device. Besides the apps of your choice, we will specifically look at ebook reader apps including iBooks, Kindle, and Nook. Then we'll explore using both ebooks and audiobooks from your local library.  Prerequisites:  iPad Basics course, iPad with iOS software version 4.0 or later, your Apple id and password, if you have one (for "purchasing" apps in the App Store), your Adobe id and password, if you have one (for library books), and (optionally) your library card. If you have a question about any of these requirements, send an email to marykay@podlecki.com.

This lecture is for those who don't yet have an iPad (and thus can't take the 4-hour hands-on class), but would like more detailed information to help make the decision about whether or not the iPad is right for them. We will cover the iPad phenomenon, details on using the iPad, and suggested next steps to make the final decision. A Q&A session will follow the lecture.
