· Why it's important to sign in using a Microsoft account on your computer
Thursday’s class we discussed Apps for devices, in particular phone apps.
One of our members told us about APPS for Podcasts. Why would you want an app for a podcast? Using an APP for a podcast while using your phone will not use your data plan. So you will be using your device without being charged data usage from your phone contract. You can find a PODCAST app for your Android device on Google Play or look for it in your store on your particular phone or tablet.
Sharing New Devices
One of our students brought a new Dell tablet to class. It comes with Windows 10 and has several ports to connect USB devices as well as an HDMI port to connect to a display monitor or TV. It is 11-inch 2-in-1 , lightweight and easy to travel with you anywhere.
The remaining class time was spent on tips using Android smart phones. Mostly the discussion and tips were on Google Play Apps.

SMART PHONE TIPS
Copy Paste Dates from eMail to Google Calendar
If you use the Google Calendar app, you can easy copy and paste date information to it from an eMail. Just Long press the date information, drag the ending and beginning markers to highlight the desired text. At the top of the screen you should see options for copy- tap that. Next go where you want that text to appear. Longpress and Past.
Editing Photos with Snapseed:This App does not work on PCs, only Smartphones and Apple products.
Use Healing to remove blemishes with Snapseed , a free app from Google for both Apple iOS and Android.
You must have Snapseed installed, but then you can get to it from Google Photos. Open the photo you want to work with, tap the 3-dot menu and Edit in…Snapseed. Once you’re in Snapseed, tap the edit pencil and then the Healing Tool.
Two fingers on the screen and pinch or zoom will adjust the magnification of the photo. One finger on the screen performs the healing. If you don’t like it you can tap the undo button and try again. When you’re happy with the results, tap save.
On an Android you can finish by tapping Done and you’ll return to Google Photos. The iPhone does not do this smoothly. The only way I can figure out to go back and forth is to use the multitasking bar (double-tap on Home button)
When you’re done, you will have 2 photos – the original and the copy that Snapseed made and edited. Here's a Youtube video on using Snapseed to improve an image
