Learn how to use
that iPad or Tablet now
Technology is moving
at the speed of light. With the recent development of hand held devices, you can
take it with you anywhere you go. It is estimated that there are now in excess
of 30 million computer tablets in use here in the United States and the number
grows daily. If you are the owner of an iPAD or other version of a computer
tablet and you want to learn more about how to use it, Northeastern Junior
College has some classes you should sign up to take this month.
Cyndi Vandenbark,
NJC’s distance learning coordinator and small business guru will is offering
several classes during January specifically for those who are using these
hand-held tablet devices. Bring your tablet with you to class and use it while
you learn.
On Tuesday, January
22 from 12 noon to 1 p.m., use your lunch hour to come to campus to learn how to
use the Pinterest and Paprika programs.
Seems that
everywhere you go today you hear people making reference to Pinterest. Since its
founding in 2010, the site has become the third most popular social network in
the United States, according to the "2012 Digital Marketer: Benchmark and Trend
Report" published by Experian Marketing Services. Pinterest is essentially a
high-tech social version of a corkboard to which you can pin images and videos
and share them with others around the world. Each pin is an thumbnail image that
links back to the original website, making it easy to save ideas that you want
to try or read at more leisure at a later date. The site contains a continuous
feed of pins from your friends as well as a public feed to give you inspiration
and help you discover new things. Paprika is similar to Pinterest however, it is
geared toward such activities as allowing you to seamlessly sync your recipes,
grocery lists, and meal plans, for example, allowing you t share them, and take
them with you everywhere.
To be in this class,
which costs an affordable $15, call the Extended Studies office at NJC at

want to get in on this training. Early sign up assures that classes will run as

In addition,
Vandenbark will also offer a class showing users how to do photo emailing and
editing with the iPAD/Tablet. This class, also held over the noon hour, will be
on Tuesday, January 29th. Cost is also $15.00. You need to register
