I have not done any live online training for a while as I have been on a caravan trip around Australia. However we have had a mishap any ran into a Kanagroo just out of Albany Western Australia and now have to wait here for a few week while the car gets fixed.

So I Looked up Broadband for Seniors (BFS) in Albany and will be doing a few training sessions for them and they have also kindly let me use their broadband to run a Live online training session.

Rather than have it of a specific topic I will make this one a free form question and answer session on any Technology, be it PC, Tablets, Phones or Digital Cameras

It will be this Thursday at 3 pm Queensland Time 4 pm Vic and NSW time and 1 pm Western Australia time.

This session will be online and will be recorded.

It would be best if you could connect about 15 minutes to half and hour before hand so to make sure your equipment is working correctly via this link:

Many people look at ways to make their computer run faster and often do not realise that the slowest part of a computer system is themselves, because they may not be aware of way of doing thing faster.

In this session you will learn:

1. - Copy Screen to clipboard
2. - Use Multiple Screens
3. - Optical Character Recognition
4. - Voice Recognition
5. - Text to Speech
6. - Marking where you are up to when reading and scrolling text
7. - Making wide text easier to read

Spreadsheets allow you to do what computers do best - Calculations. Literally millions of calculations per second. Even if it is just to add up a few numbers or to check if you have been charge correctly on a bill spreadsheets, if you know how to use them, are faster to use than a calculator:

If you have more than one computer and they can both access the internet at the same time then they are most likely networked.

2. - How to use Google Earth to move around the world very quickly
3. - How to see 3D views of many places in the world
4. - How to see 360 degree photos of many places in the world and move around to see left, right up and down
5. - How to see other photos of practically every everywhere in the word
6. - Via another Google product, Google Business view, see and move around the inside of many building like, Museums.
7. - How to save views so that you can go back to them later as well as email them to others.

If you have taken videos with a digital video camera or even a still digital camera and some of it is good and some not so and you want to put it all together showing the good bits and removing the bad bits, like where you videoed the ground the sky or the inside of the camera bag, then you need to do some video editing. Fortunately this can be quite easy to do with your computer and software that is most likely already installed. There are also many other things you can do with video editing like changing the way you go from on scene to the other, incorporating photos, adding background music and adding introductory text and ending credits, just to name a few.

This online training will start with WIndows Live Movie maker as that comes bundled with most versions of windows

It will be a completely open format online training sessions. So I will run the session any way participants want.

I used to do live online training via Google's Hangout on air. But Google in ther wisdom removed that free facility.

I now prefer to use Zoom. See https://zoom.us/

But I can also use other meeting software like Cisco Webx Meeting, Facebook Messenger, Whats App Google Meet or TeamViewer
