  Your tech questions answered for free!

  Do you have trouble with Zoom? Don't understand cookies? Confused by the WICE website? Like to know how to connect to a printer using your phone's bluetooth/hotspot as Wifi? Like to share your screen during a Zoom meeting?

  You can get help with all your technology problems from the friendly and knowledgeable WICE tech team.

  In this program, WICE volunteers Jonathan Weiland, Mike Franks, Dania Lawand, and Richard Perlman will host an online tech support session exclusively for WICE members.

  Here’s your chance to feel more comfortable with your tech devices and get answers to your specific questions for free.

  These sessions, on Zoom, will have three parts:

  1.    The tech team will cover a few general topics like how to update Zoom (a must-do) and how to sign up for an event on the WICE website.

  2.    Team members will answer questions that have been submitted in advance. (You can email your questions/problems to techquestions@wice-paris.org, or you can include them when you register.)

  3.    Q and A session with Zoom participants.

  These talks will be informal, about an hour long. We plan to have them regularly, about once a month. Normally this will be the first Wednesday of the month, but in February it will be the second Wednesay.

  Tired of wading through ads at the  top of your Google search results? Frustrated by having dig through pages of off-topic links to find that thing you were looking for?

  In this class, we will examine a number of common techniques for refining and focusing your search query, helping ensure you'll get what you're looking for sooner.

  These techniques include searching for specific types of files (e.g., PDF, Excel, etc.), searching specific domains (e.g, educational institutes, government organizations, etc.), excluding specified results from your search,  applying logical operators (OR, AND), and much more. If time permits, we will examine methods journalists use to do advanced searches. Note: this is not a general Q&A session.
  

  Free for WICE members, but registration is required.
  

  A Zoom link will be sent to attendees before the class.
