Our Mission

The mission of the Questpoint Technology Club is to help YOU navigate the digital age.  

We believe your technology and devices can serve you well beyond making phone calls and sending text messages.  It can be a platform to help you thrive in this pandemic era. 

The Questpoint Technology Club will pursue three core objectives within this value-added mission.  We want YOU to:

  • Be Safe Online
  • Stay Well-Connected with Friends, Family and Associates
  • Stay engaged and always learning. 

We hope that with some help from the Cornerstone Financial Group, you will thrive with the aide of your technology.

Workshop Description & Topics

Helping you stay well-connected with CFG and Beyond

Scan a Document with your iPhone.  Did you know that you can use your iPhone to scan a document that you have signed so that you can email it back to CFG or other requesters?  Using the Notes app, we will explore scanning and sending documents.  

Using the Chrome Browser. –  The Chrome web browser is the recommended browser for work with the Cornerstone Financial Group.  We’ll demonstrate how to make Chrome the default browser on your iPhone.   We will also help you “remember” important web sites by using Bookmarks.  We will demonstrate how to create a bookmark for your important web locations.  

Organizing your email.   It is easy to lose important emails if you have accumulated a lot of emails in your inbox.  We will show you how to find and keep  important emails using folders or labels in the iPhone Mail app.  

 

Helping you Stay Engaged and Learning

Reading Books with the LIbby app.    Reading is good for you.  It not only important for lifelong learners, but research shows that readers actually live longer!  The LIbby app is an app that allows you to borrow and read books from your local public library.  We will demonstrate the Libby app and how to use it to place holds, borrow and read books from your public library.  And best of all it’s FREE and used by many public libraries.  

I Didn’t Know my iPhone Could Do This – Function as a Level.      Around the home, we occasionally need to use a level to straighten a shelf, hang a picture or plumb a vertical line.  Our iPhone will help with this functioning as a level.
