Learning Opportunities
Computer Round Table
Our Round Table meetings are held monthly on the 2nd Wednesday of the month in the VSQ Music Room at 1:00 pm. This is a place where you can bring your computer questions and ask the experts for answers. The group will answer questions on desktop, laptops, tablets, etc. This meeting always evokes a large discussion with many residents dropping by for answers to problems that had been vexing them.
Android Questions
After the Wednesday Round Tables, at 2:00 pm, individual questions on Android phones and tablets will be answered.
iPhone and iPad
iPhone and iPad tutoring sessions are held on Monday afternoons from 2 pm to 3 pm in the Lakeside Commons media area on a first come, first served basis. Tutoring is also held on Tuesdays in a group session from 1 pm to 2 pm in the Town Center Classroom. Tuesdays are open to everyone with any type of question, please come and ask your questions as everyone who comes benefits from the questions asked.
