Ipads & Tablets
If you have an iPad or tablet and would like to feel more confident using it, our new iPads & Tablets course at Horsham U3A is a friendly place to start. This small, relaxed group is designed especially for those who want to move beyond the basics and get more enjoyment and practical use from their device. Across the course we’ll look at everyday tasks such as sending emails and messages, browsing the internet safely, taking and organising photos, installing and managing apps, and adjusting settings to make your screen easier to read. There will be plenty of time for questions, one‑to‑one help and sharing tips with others who are learning too. Sessions begin on Friday 17th April from 10.00 am, and participants are asked to bring along their own iPad or tablet (fully charged) plus any passwords they might need. Whether you are just getting started or you’ve had your device for a while and never felt you were using it properly, you’ll be very welcome to join us.
