Welcome Aboard

To: iToys Workshop Participants

From: Skip and Carol Dodson

Our adventure is about to begin! 

We will be meeting in the Conference Room on the Fiesta Deck, Deck  6,  just aft of the theatre and forward of the Casino. There are two of them, one Port (left) side and one Starboard (right) side. We won't know until we board which one we are in.

 

Eighty-two (82) people expressed interest in this event. We originally considered doing a series of presentations addressing the topics you selected on the questionnaires we emailed to you. However, we decided that, without a reliable internet connection, we aren't going to be able to do a quality and effective job on this subject with a formal presentation format. So we have decided to use a format more in keeping with the original idea of let's get together and help each other and share our ideas and our experiences in using our iToys.

We have created 6 discussion groups of about 12-15 participants. We used the info you provided on the questionnaires to include people with similar interests in each group. Two groups are scheduled to meet on each sea day, so each group can meet three times for up to 90 minutes each session. We will present some basic info on using the iPad and iPhone and the rest of the time will be spent answering your questions and giving you a chance to share your experience in using your iToys.

Our goal is to facilitate a discussion that will help you become more comfortable and productive in using your digital devices, as well as have some fun, relieve some of your iFrustrations, and establish new friendships.

This is an informal event. We will talk about what you want to talk about. If we don't have the answers, we'll find them.

The composition of the groups is flexible. If you want to switch groups because of friendships or interests you discover during the cruise, that will probably work so long as a group doesn't get too large. The conference room will be set up to accommodate about 20 people.

Thank you for your prompt responses to our emails. We look forward to meeting each of you and discovering what we can learn from each other. Travel safely everyone and we'll see you at the Horizon Deck sail-a-way or sometime thereafter.

Have a great cruise,

Skip and Carol Dodson
