    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.

    Disclaimer: This is advice only and to the best of our volunteers’ ability.  WICE does not guarantee results and is not responsible for any damages to personal devices that may occur.

    Again, Tech Talk is free but you must register to participate. Send your questions to techquestions@wice-paris.org, and be sure to register!

    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.

    With over 1.8 billion users, and available in 72 different languages, Gmail is the most popular email platform in the world.

    Most users, however, only tap into a fraction of Gmail's capabilities.

    In this class, we will explore 10 common but often overlooked features of Gmail, such as settings for viewing, filtering, and forwarding emails; security settings; managing labels and folders; add-ons to improve productivity; and more. Note: this is not a general Q&A session for Gmail problems.

    Free for WICE members, but registration is required.

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

    The average iPhone has more computing power than scientists had when designing the atomic bomb. And yet many people are unaware of the huge number of features their iPhone can provide.

    In this class, we will unlock the doors to some of the iPhones most useful—but often overlooked—features, such as notifications, . . .

    Free for WICE members, but registration is required.

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