Welcome to the new course

Welcome!

The first session of this course will introduce you to the group, what we do and how it all works.  We will try and find out what you want to learn and find out how much previous knowledge you have.

Next we’ll take a look at our tablets and how they work and look at other makes of tablet – what makes them different.

We’ll look at some useful words and try them out.

• App

• Tap/Double tap

• Pinch In and Out

• Home

• Settings

We have now had our tablets for over twelve months so we need to do some housekeeping to prepare the them for the future sessions, so we will be looking at Apps on the tablet, the Settings on the tablet and how to add and remove Apps.

Settings, Application Manager: Downloaded ~ SD Card ~ Running ~ All

We will also look at tidying the desktop and Home Screen.

• Press and hold App on the desktop: drag to: Create folder ~ App info ~ Bin

• Press and hold a blank area of the desktop to bring up the home screen menu:
  Set wallpaper ~ Add to Home Screen ~ Apps and widgets ~ Folder ~ Page

• Tap the home button to make sure you’re on the home screen

• Use the pinch gesture (as if zooming out — fingers move toward one another)

• Tap and hold the page to be removed

• Drag the page to the X at the top of the screen
