S.H.A.R.E. Workshop Meeting Room

The club offers approximately one workshop per month to members without charge. The workshops
are usually led by a member experienced in the topic or application. They last from
1 to 1 1/2 hours. Workshops are intended to give members an understanding of a variety
of computer applications. They are not intended to replace academic or continuing
education courses offered by local colleges. Reservations are required to attend
a workshop. The current procedure is for the workshop coordinator,
Connie Simon
to send an email notice to members about 2 weeks in advance of a workshop. Members
must reply and receive a confirmation from the Workshop Coordinator that space is
available. Members are expected to cancel their registration should they be unable
to attend as planned.
The workshops normally will start at 2:00pm
on Mondays in the
S.H.A.R.E. Senior Center at 6 Office Way, Suite 915 unless otherwise
noted

Next Jack will undertake and complete a specific project – “Building a Slide Show
To Share With Family and Friends.” This project will come complete with a detailed
step by step process and handout, so attendees can follow along.
The remaining time will be utilized to address questions and discuss any issues
and concerns.
And just what is Picasa? Picasa is a FREE offering from Google,
that helps you “Organize” your files and folders on your computer
– both PC’s and Mac’s. The “Edit” function helps you improve those
wonderful pictures that might need a little exposure adjustment or straightening
or cropping or red-eye fixing. The “Create” function allows you
to generate slide shows and even videos and collages. And last but not least, you
can even “Share” your photos and videos with others using Picasa’s
email function or its online and free web albums. |
