I have over 2,100 Videos for the Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. These lessons are designed to be easy-to-follow and range from a short 3 minutes to some being over 10 minutes.

ON PAUSE FOR HEALTH REASONS. I host online classes and webinars on a regular basis. These events are held through Zoom and cover a wide range of subjects. Past classes have covered Keynote, Pages, Spark Mail, organizing your photos, and using Apple Tech when Traveling. Webinars are usually in the format of an Ask Me Anything (AMA).

When you use my site for a search, it includes over 10,000 articles from these sources, so you can easily search multiple sites from one site.
