Create a meaningful family slideshow for Thanksgiving, Christmas, reunions, or other special gatherings while building practical digital skills along the way.

In this free, one-hour online class, you’ll learn how to find and organize family photos, use built-in photo search tools to rediscover forgotten memories, create a simple slideshow, and share it with family and friends.

We’ll also slow down before we build. Who will see your slideshow? What memories may matter most to them? Which photos invite conversation, and which may need more thought before sharing? Digital literacy is not only knowing which buttons to click—it is also making thoughtful choices about audience, privacy, meaning, and how information is received.

During the class, you will learn how to:

• Find photos using people, places, dates, and topic searches such as “garden,” “birthday,” or “Christmas”
• Organize selected photos into a simple folder
• Build an easy family slideshow using photos and short captions
• Crop, resize, reorder, and add simple transitions
• Save your original slideshow so you can find it again
• Share your slideshow as a presentation, PDF, video, or cloud link
• Choose appropriate viewing and editing permissions
• Prepare your slideshow for a television, computer, or remote family member
• Use photos as conversation starters that help family and friends reconnect with shared memories

No advanced technology skills are required. Participants are encouraged to have 5–10 family photos available on the device they will use during class.

This class is designed for anyone who wants to create something meaningful while strengthening everyday digital skills.
