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

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.

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.
