An exciting time for MPP, I'm working with Terrance Taylor. We met at MakeShift2014. We're changing class content to focus more on apps and developing a new series on tasks smartphones and tablets (and maybe watches) do well. After all mobile devices are an information and Internet of Things resource that's nearby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. We're redesigning our website to be more supportive of the students in classes. For, instance, the most recent PowerPoint presentations for the Maple Grove courses this winter are on the site. www.mypersonalphone.com is up and running even as we revise and improve. So please visit and make suggestions . Our new site vwward.com will be up by the end of September. 2016. lt will support our iPhone classes that will soon be on YouTube and Udemy.comContact me by email, vwward@gmail.com, if you'd be interested in one on one help or a series of classes at your location in the MPLS-STP area.
