Hi everyone, I hope you've all had a great weekend so far!
Think about clocks when you hear “tick tock?” Then this week's featured class is for you! TikTok is a social media platform where over 1 billion active users share short videos ranging from fun and silly, to informative and educational.
Join us at the center on Monday, June 5 from 12:00pm – 1:15pm EDT for “Getting Started with TikTok.”
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to sign up for an account on TikTok. We’ll show you how to search for and follow other users based on your interests to find content you enjoy! You’ll also learn how to adjust the privacy settings to your liking, and update your profile information. We hope to see you there!
If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected], or call the toll-free Senior Planet hotline at 888-713-3495.
See you at the center!
