Computer Know How


Group Description :
THIS IS NOT A GROUP ACTIVITY WHICH YOU NEED TO JOIN IN THE CONVENTIONAL MANNER.

A lot of members have individual queries about using their smart phones, iPads and laptops and we are here to assist with those queries on a "one to one" basis in a quiet, non hurried environment.

If you wish assistance with a particular IT query just contact either Dianne Gait or Madeleine Roberts and we will arrange to meet with you at one of our monthly sessions at the Library in Newton Abbot.  Please give us an idea of what you would like assistance with and bring along your own device.  Please ensure you have your passwords.

Further details are usually listed in the monthly newsletter and sometimes we will send out a mass email when we have a particular topic.  

Occasionally we have specialised topics e.g. online banking and in May 2026 BT Ability Net will be coming to advise on the installation and use of the NHS app.

Examples of what people have already requested assistance with:

How do I log into the Teign u3a website, and navigate my way around to get the most out of it?

How do I use WhatsApp - and turn off that annoying ping!  And use the Polls.

My partner usually does this for me, but I'm on my own now and would like to learn to do emails etc for myself.

A member of my family or friend usually does this for me, but I would like to learn for myself.

How do I attach a file, upload photos (and edit them)

If you would like to go a bit further we can assist with editing document files, spreadsheets - using Microsoft office, google documents etc.

We will be guided by you and member requests.  LEARN LAUGH LIVE
