A Note From Shivali | Hi
everyone,
To
those who celebrate, Happy Easter! I hope everyone has had the
opportunity to check out the wonderful cherry blossoms around town.
Though our programs will continue to be on hiatus
until April 12, I want to draw your attention to an important
new tool that you will encounter in the new quarter.
Our
instructors will be sharing an updated survey with you at the end of
each program. For example, there is a question in the survey that
asks, “On a scale from 0-10, how satisfied were you with the
instructor?” It is important that you take a few minutes to complete this
updated survey after each program you attend, as it helps
Senior Planet collect valuable information to continue to improve our
programming.
Thanks in advance for your helpful feedback!

Spotlight: Pak & Deying |
Senior Planet
Montgomery recently completed the iPad Essentials course from February
15th to March 18th. It was our first pilot of a virtual course,
and we will be offering it again in Mandarin on April 27th. Here are
some words from a few participants, Pak & Deying:
 "I am
very happy to meet Teacher Maa. I am very honored to be able to
participate in the iPad computer course. You were very meticulous and
friendly to teach us how to master the iPad and connect to the online
world. I also learned how to use Gmail and various apps. Although I
haven't learned well enough, as an 86-year-old woman, I will still
continue to work hard to learn to enrich my life. I am very grateful to
Teacher Maa for spending time teaching us iPad in your busy schedule. I
sincerely wish Teacher Maa and your family a happy and healthy
life!" -Pak
 "Thank
you for teaching us how to use Gmail yesterday. It solved my problems.
I have had Gmail for a long time but never used it because I didn’t
know how. I just thought that I am familiar with Hotmail and it’s easy
to use, so I have never tried to find out how to use Gmail. Yesterday
in class you introduced its usages in detail to make me realize that
Gmail is indeed a very convenient tool. Finally, I can do Gmail now.
Really appreciate MoCo for this course. I’ve learned so much!" -Deying
