Ready. Set. Go!

Greetings & Finally! Our seminar begins this week.

Please review the website AGAIN. For the new folks please review the Prep page and download the Day 1 and Day 2 apps. Watching the videos will help you get up-to-speed. For the repeating folks, watching the videos will be a great warm-up and remind you of some of the features you know but forget to use.

Everyone should print the nine page App Handout so you can take notes and capture app ideas from peers. Also, consider printing the READING VIEW of Cheatsheet page for reference.

Remember - bring your iPhone fully charged. Ditto on iPad if you have one.

If you are on the Waitlist for this seminar, don't be shy about visiting this website often and stay as long as it takes to view the videos and download a few new apps. 

App List & Handout Ready

This website has been updated for the Spring 2018 semester.  You will find the Day page details have been scaled back. The Apps page is updated with new links and some apps are now options while others are recommended. In case you miss it, the App Reference is a PDF document to use as your guide and note taking space. While I suggest you print it out, you might also load it into iBooks or another PDF helper app for on-the-go reference. Use the Apps page for direct links to the apps we will be using/discussing/demonstrating.

See you soon!

Example Workflow

During Spring 2017 semester I created Easy Workflow - Apple Photos for Editing and Posting to Shared Albums video and posted it to YouTube. The demo quickly covers editing in Apple Photos and launching Camera+ as a Photos Extension for additional edits before posting the finished photo to an Apple Shared Photos Album (restricted to just seminar participants). Watch this video to preview the workflow for our activities.

Seminar Description - Spring 2018

This semester we are trying online registration, meaning you might find yourself on the waiting list. Previous participants will be enrolled but new participants will still have to talk to me or email me to be sure they have prerequisite equipment/skills and understand how this studio-participant seminar works. Expect a phone call or email from Melissa before Rendezvous.

New participants - Read and step through the details on the Prep page of this site. Play with your iPhone to check against Prep info - iOS version, available space and apps. Explore information on Apple's Shared Photo Albums - a critical service to support this class. Watch video playlists linked on the Videos page. Later we suggest watching the videos again to see what you missed the first time. Review other pages to see seminar approach. Revised apps will be ready by January 31st and sent by email to registered participants.

Pages revised on 1/18/18.

Field Trip - Last Class

This semester's last class will be a field trip into the countryside. We will get close to horses and other livestock. Carpools are encouraged and a great way to set expectations on the trip out and get closure for all the learning experiences on the trip back.

Shared Albums are inspiring

For two semesters we have used Photos Shared Albums to post our photos and evolving images. Two real benefits are that these online spaces are hidden from outsiders and we can add comments, questions and praises for one another. I hope you are feeling comfortable with Shared Albums and you will use this feature for family and friends in the future.
