Tiny Township is offering free workshops for Adults 55+ in partnership with Gateway Centre for Learning.
The workshops cover a variety of topics and are hosted at the Wyebridge Community Centre, 8340 Highway 93, Tiny.
Here is a closer look at the topics:
Accessibility – Tuesday, March 22, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Accessibility features are designed to help people use technology more easily. Most computers and mobile devices come with built-in accessibility features, although they’ll usually need to be turned on before you can use them. In this workshop, we’ll introduce you to some common accessibility features.
Social Media – Tuesday, March 29, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
This workshop will introduce you to a selection of social media platforms and explain how they can be used to share information, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression. Knowing how to use social media to stay in touch with friends and family, promote your cause or keep up with the news is an essential skill. We’re here to help.
Digital Photography Basics – Tuesday, April 5, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
A smartphone (and/or tablet) is probably the most convenient camera you can have. You will always have it with you, it fits in your pocket, and it does not require any manual adjustments before you can take a photo. Learn how your phone’s camera works so you will be ready when you want to take a photo. Plus, learn about 10 everyday uses for your phone’s camera.
Online Shopping – Tuesday, April 12, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Online shopping is a convenient way to buy almost anything from the comfort of your home. And while there are some risks with shopping online, there are also many ways to protect yourself and your financial information. Join this workshop and learn how to have the best possible experience shopping online.
