Class Description

Visit sites around the world from the comfort of your home, get a bird’s-eye-view of your childhood neighborhood, or simply get directions to your friend’s house! Google Maps is a mapping application that offers satellite imagery, street maps, and street-view perspectives. It also has a route planner for your preferred transportation method, be it foot, car, bicycle or public transportation. During this lecture, you’ll get an introduction to the platform and a demonstration of how to use it.

Trainer:
Wanda Woods

Wanda’s technology training career began in the early 90s when she was selected to train the entire corporate banking administrative assistant staff on a new banking system — and she absolutely loved it!

Fast forward to 2012, and Wanda decided to start a small business in computer training. She’s contracted with various nonprofits to support them. Then in 2018, Wanda was led to Senior Planet, and the rest is history! “I’ve truly been blessed.”
