April 2, 2025Location: Cultural Center Education Room
Presenter: Jay Shah
This presentation will demonstrate advanced features available only in web-based Gmail, not in Gmail using email clients like Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or Outlook. As in “Gmail 101,” the emphasis will be on using a computer to access Gmail, rather than a phone or tablet. We will discuss how to use Google’s AI to automatically sort emails under headings to save time and make navigation easier; how to migrate to Gmail from AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, and other platforms; and how to use many other advanced features. You may bring your device to follow the demonstrations, but there will be no hands-on help during the session.

April 7, 2025Location: Cultural Center Education Room
Presenter: Jay Shah
A weak link in protecting ourselves against scams is reusing the same simple passwords—which we do because it’s hard to create, remember, and type a password that is 14–18 characters long. Password managers like Bitwarden, however, make it easy to create strong passwords and log in to websites “automatically” without needing to remember them. Learn how to set up and use a free Bitwarden product. You may bring your device to follow along with the demonstrations, but there will be no hands- on help during the session. However, a series of hands-on follow-up classes will be available for those who need additional assistance.

This topic: Managing Your Privacy and Security Online. Some of the most insidious cyber intrusions allow threat actors to see your locations and communications, access your device data, and enable functions like the microphone and camera—all without your knowledge. Often they do this by crafting messages that convince you to click on a link, making them believable by using your personal information that’s publicly available online. Learn how to limit the amount of your information that can be found online and how to protect yourself against threats to your privacy and security.
