iPad Basics
This four-hour course ($10) is designed to launch first-time owners into a comfort zone with their iPads. You donʼt need any computer background in order to take this class. All you will need is your iPad, already registered and working. The course will cover the various parts of the iPad, what a user sees on the screen, how to use the basic hand gestures, and some of the applications.

iPad Apps and Books
This six-hour course ($15) is a continuation of the iPad Basics course. The fun continues as you learn how to find, install, and update those apps that will make the iPad your personalized device. Besides the apps of your choice, we will specifically look at ebook reader apps including iBooks, Kindle, and Nook. Then we’ll explore using both ebooks and audiobooks from your local library. Prerequisites: iPad Basics course, iPad with iOS software version 4.0 or later, your Apple id and password, if you have one (for “purchasing” apps in the App Store), your Adobe id and password, if you have one (for library books), and (optionally) your library card.
Photos on the iPad
This four-hour course, which costs $10, explores the use of photos, taken with your iPad, imported from your digital camera, or streamed from other devices. We’ll edit your photos, create albums, and share them via email or the Web. Learn how to create slideshows and stream them to your HDTV. Bring your digital camera (with cable or SD card), take some pictures or videos with your iPad, or we’ll use the CLC’s computers to get your photos onto your iPad. Prerequisites: iPad Basics course, iPad (any version) with iOS software version 5.0 or later, and your Apple id and password, if you have one (for “purchasing” apps in the App Store).
