Teaching Guests Digital Technology

Tricia Fitzpatrick, Techspert

Tricia Fitzpatrick is Eurodam’s first “techspert” — an expert on the free classes that are being offered at the Digital Workshop powered by Windows, a partnership with Microsoft Corp. This partnership currently is exclusive to HAL, and Eurodam is the fourth ship in the fleet to have a techspert program.

Tricia is new to ships, but not to traveling the world. She has traveled to 26 countries, mostly on her own. She comes to us with vast experience not only with travel, but in the hospitality industry, having been an event planner for 10 years.

Tricia will be teaching FREE classes to guests on how to make memories digital using new Sony Vaio computers with the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. Topics covered include:

• How to take digital photos, movies, journaling, blogging and photo editing
• How to download digital media to the computer and upload it to Microsoft Live Spaces
• How to upload pictures and send them to a photo printer such as a Walgreens or CVS pharmacy
• How to print photos on to wrapping paper, mugs, bags and photo books

Classes are available daily and yes, they are still FREE! Check the Daily Program for class times and get there early, as they are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
