Participants : maximum 15
Who can enroll
- You must already be enrolled at UTA of Université de Sherbrooke

Short
These classes are delivered as a participating workshops. You will discover and USE many of your mobile’s features, including the Home screen, customization, Control Center, important Settings, the multitude of available keyboards, email, contacts, managing Safari and app downloads, and the essential self-help procedures. I often ask students to show their favorite app or game so others can learn about their passions!
Depending on the course, we’ll visit pertinent websites and download popular apps for creativity, phys ed, finances, advanced phone features, sharing files and much much more. The workshops are made up of small presentations/demonstrations, much live practice and Q&A periods to prepare you for the next 10 years of computing.
