Pinterest for Beginners
On Thursday, March 21 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., Geeks On Grand will be offering a Pinterest for Beginners course at its business location at 145 Grand Ave. in Mancos.
Pinterest is an online pinboard, and the third hottest social media site in the world. In a quick one-hour class, there will be a review of the basics of this popular site, how to get started, how to use both personally and professionally. Things covered include: creating an account, create pin boards, how to "Pin," and more. The cost for the course is $25. This class is meant for people that are interested in starting a Pinterest account (or, if you've started one and don't know how to use it). Bring a laptop for this hands-on workshop.
To register, call Victoria at 533-9926.
