Mac Classes – February 2014

Wow, I hope not too many of you are Broncos fans. That was one awful Super Bowl, eh? Ah well, at least we have Mac (and iPad/iPhone) classes to look forward to!

Class list for February 2014:

Sat., February 8th, from 10-noon: iMovie on the Mac!; Ridgway Town Hall
Sat., February 22nd, from 10 am-2 pm (in Telluride): iPhone-ography; Ah Haa School, Telluride
Wed., February 26th, from 5-7 pm: FREE Mac OS X Overview; Ridgway Library
Sat., March 1st, from 1-4 pm: iPhone-ography; Weehawken Ridgway

REMINDER: for the Saturday classes, I'm going to trying something new this year. I have to ask that you let me know if you're planning to attend those classes, and if at least 4 people haven't expressed interest by the Friday before, I'll have to cancel that class. Unfortunately, I had a couple months last year where only one person (or none) showed up, and I'm afraid that just can't work for me anymore. I hope you understand!

The details:

 First off, this coming Saturday, February 8th, from 10 am to noon, I'm offering another popular class: iMovie on the Mac! 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 this class is $20, and it will be held at the Ridgway Town Hall. As mentioned above, it's open to drop-ins, but please let me know if you plan on coming!

 Now, a head's up: I'm teaching two iPhone-ography (iPhone photography) classes in the next month; one through the Ah Haa School in Telluride and the other through Weehawken Creative Arts in Ridgway. They take place on February 22nd and March 1st, respectively. More info here for the Telluride class, and here for the Weehawken class. Feel free to call me if you have questions about either of those classes (number below).

 Lastly, I will be doing my regular last-Wednesday-of-the-month class at the Library. This month, it's the FREE Mac OS X Overview, on Wednesday, February 26th from 5-7 pm. This class is held in the computer lab. 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 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)!

Take care everyone!
