- Cloud Storage: An Overview, Tuesday, Feb. 10 from 7-8 p.m.
We hear about “the cloud” all the time. One of the ways the cloud works is by storing our files on the Internet. But exactly what is cloud storage? How does it work? How do I use it? In this course, we aim to answer these questions. We review the basic mechanics of cloud storage as well as the most popular cloud storage tools: Dropbox, Apple’s iCloud, Google Drive and Microsoft’s SkyDrive.
- Internet Security, Tuesday, Feb. 17 from 2-3 p.m.
There are millions of webpages on the Internet today. But how do you know which ones are legitimate and which ones are malicious? This class will discuss how to protect yourself while you are using the Internet. We will go over how to tell if a website is legitimate, how to keep your identity safe and other best practices.
