Mac Classes – November 2013 *UPDATED*

*UPDATE*: I have moved the iPad/iPhone Overview class to November 20th (from the 27th), and I believe it's full. Let me know if you'd like to be placed on a waiting list!

As I write this, they're predicting snow and a low of about 15 degrees tonight. I guess winter is coming whether we're ready or not... I'm not ready, but I will be soon enough!

I've been struggling with what classes to offer this month and when. It's that time of year when we all get busy with lots of holiday (and pre-holiday) activities, and it's tough to compete. So I've decided to offer just one focused class for both November and December. On to the details...

Class list for November 2013:

Wed., November 20th, from 5-7 pm: FREE iPad/iPhone Overview; Ridgway Library
Sat., November 23rd, from 10-noon: iMovie; Ridgway Town Hall

The details:

 First, my regular last-Wednesday-of-the-month class at the Library is moving to the third-Wednesday-of-the-month, due to the holiday. This month, it's the FREE iPad/iPhone Overview on Wednesday, November 20th from 5-7 pm. The iPad/iPhone class is held in their small meeting room. Space is limited, so you have to sign up, and the Library has asked that I handle the sign ups, so give me a call at 970-417-8434 (or drop me an email) if you'd like to attend. (Be aware that first-timers take priority over anyone who has taken the class before, but there are often openings for repeaters).

For the iPad/iPhone Overview, you'll need to bring your own device. For the Mac Overview, there are six Macs in the computer lab, so only two of the eight attendees need their own laptops. This class is beginner-oriented, but we cover some different things every month; repeat attendees are encouraged (when there's room)!   

 For my only focused class this month, on Saturday, November 23rd, from 10-noon, I'm offering a class that's been requested a lot recently: iMovie. With the ubiquity of HD video these days, whether it's from your iPhone, iPad, or your little point-and-shoot, you've likely got lots of video clips that you'd like to turn into a polished project to wow your friends and family. If so, this class is for you! Cost for the class is $20, and it will be held at the Ridgway Town Hall. No sign-up necessary, and it's open to drop-ins, so come if you can! 

Take care everyone, and have a great (and cold and snowy?) month!!
