Online Learning

Since you are not going to classes these days,
due to the current health directives, you might find it useful
to find another way to learn about the subjects we teach.

There are many online sources of instruction
that cover many areas of interest.

• Picasa

  Picasa is a program you install on your computer to manage, edit, view and share your photos. It was offerred by Google until March, 2016. Then Google introduced "Google Photos." It is not a program you install on your machine. On your computer it is simply a website you go to. On smartphones and tablets it is an app.
  For more details about Google Photos, click → Google Photos
  If you wish to install Picasa on a computer, contact Walt (opawalt@gmail.com) If you have a new machine, you will need to copy the pictures from wherever they were before and paste them to your new machine.
