> Hello,

> Get an Apple education at Second Sense!
>  
> Are your clients getting the most out of their Apple device?  Second Sense is offering two free workshops to help VoiceOver users build skills and increase confidence using an iPhone or iPad.  These classes take place at our office at 65 E. Wacker Place, Suite 1010 in Chicago.
>  
> 1.  My Notetaker <mailto:http://www.second-sense.org/events/apple-my-notetaker-2/>:  Saturday, September 19, 10:00 am to 1:30 pm
> This class shows how to use specific apps to enable the iPhone or iPad to perform similar functions as an expensive notetaker.  Class attendees will learn how to use the device as a bookreader, create calendar items and use a calculator, thesaurus and dictionary.
>  
> 2.  Managing Apps <mailto:http://www.second-sense.org/events/managing-apps-on-your-apple-device/>:  Thursday, September 24 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm
> This class helps users manage apps by making them easier to access.  We'll cover how to move, delete and switch apps, plus how to create folders for better organization.
>  
> Both of these classes are designed for intermediate Apple users.  Knowledge of standard VoiceOver gestures and navigating in and out of applications is necessary.
>  
> New!  Apple Exchange Begins Thursday, October 1, 1:30 to 3:30 pm
>  
> Beginning in October, we are dedicating the first Thursday afternoon of every month to learning one new skill on an iOS device.  We'll focus on mastering one task then follow it up with conversation and discussion on apps – new, old, useful, and fun.  We encourage questions and sharing of knowledge!
>  
> To register for these workshops or for more information, contact David Flament <mailto:david.flament at second-sense.org> or call 312-236-8569.
