Re: Schedule of Free Training Courses Now Available - Please Read
Hi Clifton. I'm Carol Pearson from the UK. I'm very interested to have a stab at the first of your courses, already being used to VoiceOver but not with the TV itself. I understand this course will be twice weekly, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.. Would you therefore kindly add me to the Apple TV course and let me have further information about how, exactly, to link up with you for the course. I note, from your message, that you suggest the courses will commence at 2:00 PM but I am still not quite clear where, exactly, you are placed, and so what that means in practice time-wise. Perhaps you could be kind enough to clarify this for me. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing further from you. Carol Pearson (Mrs).

Many of you may remember, or may have taken, the iPad training course I offered this past spring. I was really humbled and appreciative of all the positive feedback from that course, and I felt that the response to it was overwhelming. I’m now excited to announce that I will be offering more free training courses for 2018-19 training season. In this email I will specify and explain what I am offering, I will provide course dates, and I’ll provide a bit of other general info. I know some of these dates are a good ways off yet, but as I’ll explain, there are benefits to planning now. First off, I’ll be offering four major courses over the next year. They are as follows: Replacing Your Traditional TV with Apple TV: four sessions, one session per week, beginning Tuesday, October 2, 2018 Living the Connected Digital Life: Four sessions, one session per week, beginning Tuesday, October 30, 2018 Learn VOiceover In and Out: eight sessions, two per week, beginning Tuesday, January 22, 2019 Learning Voiceover In and Out, Section B: Eight Sessions, two per week, beginning Tuesday, February 19, 2019 IPad for All Computing: 12 Sessions, two per week, beginning Tuesday, April 16, 2019 The courses which have two days per week will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All courses will be held in the afternoon, with exact start times to be decided. Plan on somewhere around 2PM or 2:30 PM Eastern. Sessions will last for two hours. As with prior courses, each course is completely free and is available to everyone, sighted and non sighted alike. As before, courses will be held in Zoom, with an accompanying set of materials, offered as iTunes U courses, with the exception of the Apple TV and Connected Digital Life courses, which will require only small handouts rather than complete iTunes U courses. I’ll provide descriptions of each course below. What I’d love is if people would start sharing this entire email with your friends, family, co-workers, etc, and on any other relevant lists you may belong to. Additionally, please let me know which courses interest you. You can reply to this message with any questions, or you can email me off list to simply express interest in any courses. Now for some general descriptions: The Apple TV course was sort of requested by several participants in this year’s iPad course. It will be designed to offer participants an overview of what the Apple TV can do and how to use it. We will then get into various options for making the Apple TV your complete living room device, cutting the cord, streaming, etc. what about local channels? How about sports? What does it cost? How many people can watch at the same time? On and on. We’ll answer all the questions we can, with a particular emphasis on Voiceover use as well. You do not need to own an Apple TV to benefit from this course. Even if you are just mildly interested in it and want to explore what’s out there, we’d love for you to join. The Connected Digital Life will explore in-depth how to make all your devices work for you no matter where you are. We will spend lots of time on all the iCloud features and services, such as iCloud Photo Library, iTunes in the CLoud, iCloud Drive, and many more. We’ll discuss iCloud Keychain for password and credit card autofill, Apple Pay, continuity, multiple devices together, HomeKit and home automation devices, and much more. Anyone with an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV, Apple Watch, HomePod, Mac, or any combination of these devices should benefit from this course. The Voiceover In and Out course is something I believe many are looking for. You’ll notice I’m offering two sections. This is because I intentionally want to keep enrollment small and look at the students to best Taylor the course to individual needs. This will be perfect for anyone who has never used an Apple device and wants to learn about it, or anyone who has just gotten their first Apple device. Additionally, those who have been using Apple products for years but want further

Hi, Clifton, I have an Apple TV but don’t know how to work it and would be interested in taking that course and the one where we learn about iCloud features.
