Video Camera Class Dec. 30, 2008


Adam taught the CAP team how to use a video camera on Dec. 30. He showed us how to put the video on the computer and how to edit it once it is on the computer.

Digital Camera Class Dec. 30, 2008

Six people attended the Digital Camera Class at the Swift Current Public Library. We were able to show them the basic features of the camera and also show them some of the more advanced features. Everyone walked away having learned something. The students learned about using the macro feature on the camera for taking pictures really close. They learned how to use the timer on the camera. They learned about the different settings on the camera, like portrait, landscape and night mode. They also were shown how to take a video using the digital camera.
We showed them how to put their pictures onto the computer.
It was an enjoyable class of learning.

MS PowerPoint is what all the cool kids want to know!

Well maybe not all the cool kids, but at least this local student.

For Computer Training at the Library we have been focusing more on helping people who are coming in to use the public computers. I was able to help this lady save pictures that she recieved in a email from her family. She was then able to do what she needed to with the pictures. She was just unsure of where the pictures were being saved and where she could save them.
