10:00 am: Knitting10:00 am: Knitting – Every week, our knitters gather to share their purls of wisdom and get in the loop on each other’s latest project, and usually end up in stitches spinning yarns. Whether you knit for pleasure, distraction or just practical economics, or you’ve never done it before and want to give it a try, there’s always room for another loom. Learn, refine, or teach a skill that makes your gift-giving budget lighter weight or support a student-led altruistic project like knitting chemo caps, beanies for babies, lap blankets or other creative applications.

1:00 pm: Gmail Hands-On Workshop1:00 pm: Gmail Hands-On Workshop – Gmail, it's everywhere you want to be… Connected to the Internet. Welcome to the world of tomorrow, and web apps. Gmail is built to act as an application inside your browser. This means you can access it with just your favorite screen reader and browser, but still use time saving keyboard short cuts to make navigating easier. It also means that it is necessary to learn just a few new tricks. Gmail, and other web apps mix the way that you would navigate on the desk top with how you navigate a website. On Saturday, January 12th join the Access Technology team at the LightHouse to learn about how Gmail works with your screen reader and how to navigate and use it efficiently. We will discuss how Gmail differs from other websites and help you to make the most of its online interface. This course requires that you bring your own device, and be comfortable using your screen reader to browse web pages and in the desktop environment on your computer, and that you have a Gmail account. An RSVP is required for this class, and space is limited. To register, email ahogan@lighthouse-sf.org This class is free to participants through support from the City of San Francisco’s SF Connected program. 1:00 pm: Try It Workshop: Pole Dancing1:00 pm: Try It Workshop: Pole Dancing –

1:00 pm: Tech Together1:00 pm: Tech Together – Tech Together Do you use your access technology regularly, but don’t have time to keep up with what’s new and what’s changing? Do you sometimes hit roadblocks in your technology use and wish you could problem solve with someone else? Do you love your iPhone or iPad and want to learn more about accessible apps? Are you a screen reader or magnification user who’s trying to adapt to increasingly complex websites? Do you just want to talk about technology and the latest developments for blind and low vision users? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions , the Lighthouse invites you to Tech Together. Tech Together is a monthly technology learning group of blind and low vision technology users. We blind folks are resourceful and clever, but there is no reason we should each have to reinvent the wheel, or the app, for ourselves. In these sessions, we will discuss the topics that are of interest to the group, and help one another to understand troubleshooting, find app recommendations, and learn about the latest in Tech… Together! These sessions will be facilitated by LightHouse Access Technology specialists, but the meat of the event is for the participants to decide on themselves. At this inaugural event, we will pick a few bits of news to whet the appetite, and then, we will turn it over to you all to share your insights and help one another grow as technology users. Come with ideas on topics and bits of news and software you want to share with your friends. If you’re brand new to access technology, you may wish to book an individual appointment with an Access Technology instructor before joining this group. This group is free and open to all, but a current LightHouse waiver is required. To make sure you’re registered as a LightHouse student, contact Amelia Hogan, 415-694-7343 or ahogan@lighthouse-sf.org |
