Hi folks, please read all of the information below:
As a reminder, the free online course, Replacing Your Traditional Computer With an iPad starts on Tuesday, April 9, 2019 at 3PM Eastern time. For those
who have not yet heard of this course, here are the details:
Apple s iPad was introduced in 2010 as a magical and revolutionary product, and today, that s more true than it s ever been before. The iPad has changed
lives and changed the way we work, play, communicate, create, and express ourselves, whether we are sighted or non-sighted using Voiceover. Thanks to incredible
power and graphics, advanced productivity features, a wealth of apps, and lots of awesome accessories, it is truly possible to use an iPad as your full
time computer solution.
The Tech Juggernaut is pleased to offer a free course on how to do just that - replace your traditional computer with an iPad. This course will be taught
by a certified Apple Teacher as well as four other well-respected instructors who have either received training or who have used Apple products for close
to a decade. We will teach you the differences between the iPhone and iPad and how to use those differences to your advantage - even with Voiceover. Voiceover
users will learn how to work in split screen with two apps open side-by-side, how to work while watching a movie, how to use two websites at once, how
to drag items from one app to another, and more. We will teach you how to use your iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard or Smart Keyboard and other accessories.
You ll learn the basics, like using Messages, Mail, Safari, Calendar, Maps, and other built-in apps, but you ll also learn advanced topics such as using
Apple Pages, Clips, GarageBand, and more. Create and share documents, movies, presentations, and spreadsheets. Record and edit audio. Build beautiful websites.
Travel with your iPad, and use it in education, business, or just in life. All these topics and more will be discussed in this awesome free course.
The course begins, as stated, on April 9 at 3PM Eastern, and will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 3PM to 5PM Eastern, with an ending date of May
23, 2019. Audio demos, web resources, assignments, discussions, and other resources will accompany the course. To join, students must meet the following
qualifications:
Have a reasonable level of knowledge in the area of Voiceover on iOS and basic Voiceover gestures Already own, or be willing to purchase, an iPad, such
as the iPad Sixth Generation which can often be found for as low as $279 in the USA Have a reliable internet connection, Wi-Fi or cellular (data rates
may apply if using cellular)
If you have already expressed an interest in taking this course or have already enrolled in it, you are good to go, and there s no need to take any further
action at this time. If not, there s still time to join. To do so, please send an email to:
In the subject line, indicate that you wish to join the iPad course. In the message body, please include your full name, cell phone number, and an email
address where you receive and reply to email messages. Please consider very carefully the above requirements for joining, especially the requirement of
a reasonable knowledge of Voiceover. While we do not wish to exclude anyone, there simply is not time to teach Voiceover gestures and still cover all this
awesome content. We can certainly answer quick questions and remind folks of gestures they may forget etc, but if you do not have at least a basic understanding
of how to navigate, use the Rotor, and accomplish basic tasks with Voiceover, you will not get much out of this course. Any questions please let us know.
Looking forward to working with you in this course. Take care and God bless you.:)
