Program Description

Event Details

Join us each month on every fourth Tuesday from 2:00 – 3:00 PM for an additional Senior Planet lecture or workshop designed to help adults learn new skills, make new friends, and so much more. Each session will cover a different topic, offering practical tips and hands-on learning.

The topic for this week's workshop is Using Voice Assistants.

In this hands-on workshop, we'll go beyond Alexa and Google Nest and demonstrate how to use the voice assistant features embedded into most smartphones and available in the Chrome web browser. You’ll learn about Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant and practice using them on your own device. We'll also review some of the most popular uses for voice-activated home assistants.

This workshop includes hands-on practice and requires an electronic device. It is highly encouraged that participants bring their own mobile devices, but devices can be provided upon request.

This presentation is a part of the Senior Planet Licensing curriculum provided by Senior Planet from AARP.
