We will cover the basics as well as copyright permissions; as time permits, other advanced features will be covered.

Scammers and schemers are organized, and they are actively targeting you. Learn about the tricks and tactics they use to gain your personal information and access to your finances. You will see they are VERY organized and VERY good at what they do. How do you or your elderly parent avoid becoming victims of their schemes? It all starts with gaining the knowledge and awareness of the practices to stay safe. What do you do if you have been breached by their schemes? In this information session, you will learn about common scenarios that are used to “get” your precious information, you’ll learn how to spot them immediately, avoid falling into their traps, and take action if you realize you have been a victim. This class may be conducted via Zoom, if necessary.

Email is a means of communicating with others, throughout the world, in a fast and efficient manner. This class will cover the terms and techniques necessary to use email in an efficient, safe and organized manner.

This workshop is for someone who already has a Gmail account, but may not know how to access it on the website so other google suites can be used.   This workshop will introduce you to adding and downloading attachments, inserting links, using folders to organize emails, scheduling emails and requesting read receipts, managing settings, saving contacts, creating groups and more as time permits.  This is an in-person class. 

You’ll need a Gmail account for this workshop, and will need to know your account username and password.  It’s ideal if you access your Gmail on the web vs. a computer-based program.  If you’re not sure what this means, please contact us and we’ll be glad to assist you!
