Verizon’s Free Smart Workshops

Many people I know own smartphones and sadly do not use their devices to their potential, or may not even know how to use the phone beyond its basic functions. If you happen to fall into this category, or just want to know more about your device, it’s good to know that Verizon Wireless recently started offering free workshops to help you learn.
These workshops range from learning about your Android device to your iPhone 4S or iPad 2, and both online and in-store options are available. The workshops offer you a comprehensive look at what smartphones and other “smart” devices, such as tablets, can do. The in-store workshops are led by specially trained data experts and sales representatives, and run between one and two hours.
The training ranges from basic to advanced. To give you an idea, the basic Android class teaches you about the features of your device and allows you ask questions, review basic hardware functions and show you how to customize your device. Whereas the advanced Android class lets you learn about the advanced functions on your device, including transferring content from your device, using social networking accounts, setting up multiple email accounts, using the browsers and troubleshooting. Whatever level you’re at, it should be beneficial.
