Creative Computer Skills & Family Legacy Presentation Course

Overview

We all have a history and a past. Some may try to run from theirs, while others may just never have taken the time to embrace theirs and to learn and grow from it.

Who we are is typically shaped by those that have been directly involved in our lives or even by those who have helped to shape the lives of those who have been close to us but who we never met.

At some point, usually when we get older, we begin to question and begin to explore where we actually came from and to attempt to learn more about those family and friends who were key players in our family heritage that have impacted what we do and what we believe.

Unfortunately for many, when we reach the time when we want to know some basic answers, the very people who have the answers or who could even shed some basic light on the questions are no longer around or are no longer capable of remembering many of those important memories.

 Now is the time to take the necessary steps to help preserve part of your family heritage.

 Old pictures are just not enough. When you are no longer around pictures of your past will probably mean nothing to most family members. Even if they recognized you in the picture, no picture can truly express what you were really like as a person.

 If you have a close relationship with your family perhaps you have been lucky enough to have opportunities to talk about your life with them. More often than not, most families never talk about personal things at all or perhaps only on some rare occasions.

 We all have done different things in our lives. Yes, some of the things you have done you think may not really be of interest to others in your family. On the other hand, perhaps you don’t really know what your family and friends would be interested in learning about your life.

 Later on I will present some topics that you may want to cover as you document your journey. The nice thing is there is no right or wrong when doing this project. You just need to follow your heart.

 What would you like to talk about assuming someone was willing to listen? This could be where you begin.

 For those of you who have elderly parents or grandparents you may want to honor them and benefit yourself and your family by focusing on their lives as you build a foundation for your personal journey.

 This course is designed to help you to begin to document important parts of your family history that can go way beyond where a person was born. As you begin your journey, in your own words or in the words of those you honor by showing enough interest in their lives to learn more, the “road” you follow can be as broad or narrow as you choose to make it.

Expand Your Computer Skills & Much More...

In the Creative Computer Skills & Family Legacy Course those who already have basic computer skills will be provided with an opportunity to expand those skills while creating their own Family Legacy Presentation for their family and friends. The presentation will include your selected topics about your lives in conjunction with your chosen photos and other related information.

To create the Presentation, we are going to be using Google Slides. This is a Free App that is provided by Google when you sign up for a Google Account.

Since we are going to use Google Email to send and receive the photos that are going to be used in the presentation, we will start out my creating your Google Gmail. 

As part of your Google Account you will be provided what is called Google Drive. Photos will be added to your Google Drive through Gmail and then added to your Family Legacy Presentation when you are ready.
