Tech Topics Photo Album Class

 Here's a link for a class I taught for the Tech Topics subgroup of AAUW.  The class was to encourage and motivate senior women about How to Create an Online Photo Album.  The course description was:

"Do you have old disorganized snapshots or scrapbooks that none of your kids want?  Are you downsizing or decluttering but can't part with the memories?  Do you want to make it possible for all your kids and grandkids to have access to the antique photos?  What about home movies?  Do you need a modern way to save your new digital pictures?  Let me show you how easy it is to make a free Digital Photo Album."

Here's a picture of our Zoom class.

It seemed to go well and several of the girls called me afterward to ask for help getting started.  It was fun.
