Do you want to make the most of your Android smartphone or tablet? Android devices are easier to use than ever, with features like screen magnification, screen readers, and other tools to assist you. This year, we’ll also highlight new features from Android 14 and explore the exciting possibilities of Gemini, Google’s new AI-powered assistant!

Join CNIB SmartLife for a series of sessions where we’ll show you how to use your device and make it work for your needs. You’ll learn about the basic parts of your smartphone or tablet, how to navigate the interface, and how to use accessibility tools to make your experience better. We’ll also introduce you to Google Assistant and Google Gemini, your voice-activated and AI-powered helpers.

Each week, we’ll focus on a new topic! Here’s what to expect:

  • Week 1 – Thursday, February 6: Introduction to your smartphone or tablet/overview of accessibility features.
  • Week 2 – Thursday, February 13: Features for users with low vision.
  • Week 3 – Thursday, February 20: Using your device non-visually with the TalkBack screen reader.
  • Week 4 – Thursday, February 27: Controlling your device with your voice – Google Assistant, Google Gemini, and dictation.

Come every week or choose your sessions – don't miss out on maximizing your device's potential!
