New 5-Week Courses
Just a Few Spots Remaining! |
|
Hi everyone! I hope you've enjoyed your weekend so far.
We're getting ready to launch two new 5-week courses at our center in Plattsburgh, and there are just 4-5 open seats left!
Free Your Photos – Starts Tomorrow, 2/13 @ 2:15pm
Come to this 5-week course with the digital photos you want to back-up, share, and print! You’ll learn to use Google Photos, a Cloud-based platform that allows you to organize and access your pictures across devices. You’ll also explore websites for printing and making the most of your pictures by turning them into scrapbooks, calendars, and more!
iPad Essentials – Starts Tuesday, 2/14 @ 2:15pm
This 5-week course will cover the essentials of how to use the Apple iPad, how to navigate the internet, and how to send and receive email. By the end of the course, you’ll have a foundation for using an iPad and the internet to enrich your life.
To claim one of the remaining spots in either course, come to the center tomorrow or Tuesday! We're located in the Champlain Centre Mall, 60 Smithfield Boulevard, Plattsburgh, NY.
Questions or comments? Email us at [email protected], or call the center at 518-566-4422.
See you at the center!
