Android Tablets - Wednesday Afternoons Many seniors may have problems using a computer mouse, using the keyboard or even just sitting at their computer desk to use their desktop or laptop computer. Perhaps a tablet would be a solution to these and other problems. Visit the Computer Room Wednesday afternoons from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm to learn about tablets and their use. This is a drop in rather than a class, but instruction sheets will be available. An Asus Transformer Prime Android tablet, that can be used either with or without a keyboard (see pictures at the right), will be available. Learn how to use the tablet to browse the web and search the web, send and receive email, take pictures and videos and view them, combine separate videos into one video, download and listen to music, translate text from one language to another, view google earth and maps, use the tablet as a GPS device, find and download apps (applications), download and read books or newspapers, use its voice recognition feature to replace typing and much more. Actually try using the tablet to see if it would suit your needs either by replacing or supplementing your labtop or desktop computer. Learn how the tablet can be connected to other computers, printers or your high definition TV set.

Instruction Sheets Various instruction sheets are available to help members use their computers. Most are only one or two pages so they are easy to use, especially if one prints them to provide readable instructions while working at his or her computer. We have a new page which lists the various instructions sheets currently available and the ones that are in the process of being written. Click on the words Instruction Sheets below to access this new page. Click here ⇒ Instruction Sheets
