  Do you want to do more with your iPhone than just making and receiving phone calls? If so, this is the course for you.   

  In this beginner course you will be shown ways to personalize your iPhone to make it a more useful and integral part of your daily activities – which we hope, will make your life a little easier! 

  We’ll show you the basics for sending and receiving text messages and email, saving and taking pictures, along with organizing photos and how to share them with others. Become more organized with your contacts and have a useful calendar at your fingertips.  We can also cover using maps for directions, getting other useful apps and checking shopping websites for price comparisons.

  If time permits, learn how to check local and international news and even going to the library on the phone!  This course is strictly ONLY for iPhone users (no Android phones allowed) and has a limited-size class, which allows for a more personal approach.
