Bettyann and I have been running Windows Classes here in Florida once a week for most of the winter season.  The most popular classes have been the two "Back to the Very Basics.", and the Windows 8 class.  We have, however, also run classes on:

- Digital Photography, in which we show "Windows Live Photo Gallery"

- Managing your music with iTunes and Windows Media Player

- Making Movies from your photos.

- eReaders

- and lots more

 

This is the first year we have attempted to work with Tablets.  I found it to  be quite difficult to find a topic that everyone wanted to know about. Most people, no matter what tablet, already have their main applications, email and a Browser already running. We were able to have one class on an app called AllStays. After the first couple of classes we ended up sitting around a table and had people ask questions and talk about things they wanted to know. This seemed most effective.

 

The iPad is much easier than Android tablets - everyone has the same version of IOS.  Android is much more difficult.  More people have them but they come in many forms (e.g.Nook, Kindle HD) and the OS versions vary from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean.  It wasn't long before we lost the Nook and Kindle folks.  Again, with the Android folks we managed to get some apps like Skype installed and working.

 

The Windows Classes were, by far, better attended.
