Spring 2019
Smartphone Class
Upcoming class dates: cancelled June 4th , July 2nd Scheduled
Tuesday Classes at 12:30pm - 2pm by Jane Quinn
We
are here to solve your problems and answer questions you have. In the
last session we had a mix of Android smartphones, but were able to answer
questions about functions because they are so similar in operation.
There may be instances where the operation has a
different name for example on a Samsung verses an LG device one is named My
Files and the other is named File Manager. But on each this will open the
location for you to see your all files and folders. Here you can actually see
how much data is on your device , and if you’re running out of space. Some
devices can add an extra storage card for more data, but it depends on the
model and type of smartphone you have.
I
hope to see you in the Smart Phones for Seniors

Most
of my ability to use Windows 10 has come from watching YouTube videos. I have found

them! If you type MDTECHVIDEOS in the youtube search bar you will see in the
tab labeled Videos a constant stream of new videos that are helpful learning
Windows 10. Look for the latest dates to ensure you’re learning the latest tips

click on the 3 dots symbol to the far right for the drop down menu to appear.

MAKING MEMORIES
Today's technology makes it
easy to create a memory beyond just photos. With today's smartphones
and cameras it's easy to record a video or record your voice.
And
Windows 10 let's you edit a video and create a file in MP4, MOV or WMV format.
Each is able to UpLoad to YouTube , or post to the Cloud in a Blog, or eMail in
some cases.
It would be so
unfortunate not to take advantage of these tools you have to make a memory
. If not for you , think of your grand children or your spouse who would
enjoy those recorded moments. Today's technology makes it easy. I
suggest using Facebook movies, movies made from your Smartphone, or movies made
from your camera.
UPLOAD YOUR PERSONAL VIDEO TO YOUTUBE
First
you must create an account on YouTube to manage your videos. Then you can
Upload your MP4 , or MWV movie to your Youtube account. The term that is use is
Your Channel. It is similar to managing a Blog. And basically you create your
own space on YOUTUBE, that you upload your videos . You can make them Private
or Public.
