The first go-round of Technology Talks went really
well. In fact, it went so well that I
will be offering a second session in March. If you wanted to try the first
session, but were unable to make it, I would love for you to join us. The class will start over by discussing the
basics of smart device usage (texting, emailing, navigation, etc.) and
apps. We will meet at the Hunt County
Extension office, 2217 Washington Street in downtown Greenville from 2:00 to
3:00 on March 1st, 8th, 22nd and 29th.
Again, this series is geared toward individuals who are new to smart
devices and/or need assistance understanding and using
their device. Set-up as four, one-hour
sessions, we will cover introductory basics, Internet and email use, popular
apps, social media, and online safety.
Attendees will need to bring their own Wi-Fi capable device (smart phone
or tablet). This is a welcoming and fun
learning environment where no question is too basic. This series is free of charge and everyone is
welcome to come and learn. Sessions will focus on specific (but flexible)
topics, independent of each other.
The first session is still in progress and we are now
discussing specific apps. If you have a
basic understanding of your device but would like to learn more about
Pinterest, Map My Walk, or My Fitness Pal, please join me January 11th, 18th,
and 25th at the Hunt County Extension office at 1:30. We will be discussing a specific app each of
those days. Smart devices can be
extremely helpful when working to improve your health. Our January sessions will focus on apps that
you can use on your health journey.
One thing I found out from the first session was most people
have never taken the time to play around on their device so they end up never
comfortable with it. If you are
interested in the series but not available at the scheduled time, please email
or call me. I truly enjoyed working with
the individuals in the first session and I want to make the series available to
everyone.
As always, if you have questions, concerns, or just want to
chat, please feel free to come by the Hunt County AgriLife Extension office,
2217 Washington Street, Greenville, Texas, 75401, call (903) 455-9885, or email
Sarah.Latham@ag.tamu.edu.
