Additional Offering: More With the Mac 2027:

Begins late January 2027

This course offers a unique learning experience, with an approach that puts what you want to learn front and center. Through a series of recorded materials, guest collaborations, and live Q and A sessions, you’ll gain an entirely new appreciation for the Mac.

Tuesdays With TTJ and Saturdays With Stur It Up:

Tuesdays at 2PM Eastern, and Saturdays at 3PM Eastern

Come get your Apple product questions answered by a team of experts, and on select Tuesdays, listen to special presentations, product reviews, guest collabs, and more.

All TTJ courses will be enhanced this season in the following ways:

*A simplified joining experience:

No more registration needed. Everyone is free to join. Share the Zoom join info with your family, friends, students, teachers, and co-workers.

*A new subscription calendar:

Subscribe to our seasonal training calendar, and all the classes, help sessions, and other important events will show up on your calendar automatically, right along side all your other events. Requires the use of Apple iCloud Calendar

*New Emphasis On Apple Intelligence:

Apple is about to release the new Siri AI, as well as numerous enhancements to the Apple Intelligence suite of features, and TTJ is ready and excited to teach, discuss, and demo all the new features. These features will be taught as separate demo sessions, as well as being integrated directly into the curriculum of our existing free courses.

*New focus on Voiceover features for life:

Along with Siri AI and other Intelligence features, Apple is releasing new Voiceover Intelligence features that make it easier to familiarize yourself with your surroundings, learn about what is in front of you and more, learn about your photos and what’s on your screen, and so much more. Once again, TTJ will help you learn about all these awesome new features, both in our regular free courses, and in separate demo sessions!

*What’s Possible Segments:

Sometimes, there’s just too much to learn in a few short sessions, but you’d really like to know what’s possible. That’s why we are introducing our What’s Possible segments across the board, particularly in our iPad For All Computing course. Rather than detailed step-by-step teachings, these occasional sessions will give listeners the chance to hear demos and descriptions of more complex and advanced tasks which may require more time or individualized training, so that you can hear them being completed successfully. It’s a great way to learn, you guessed it…what’s possible!

Advanced Audio Editing Course:

Want to learn how to use GarageBand, Logic Pro, and numerous other apps for recording, editing, producing, and podcasting? We’ve got you covered. Our brand new audio editing course, coming late fall 2026, is available for just $99, and completely free to gold customers. If you are not a gold customer, you can preorder this course now, for a limited time, for a 10% discount, by emailing us at shop@ttjtech.biz, and letting us know you’d like to preorder the course.
