How to use technology is a question which volunteers are often asked, but are not always confident in answering. People like to know the ‘right’ way to listen to a playlist. The truth is there is no one right way.
Below are some guides on using technology. Print as many of these off as you need and watch the screencast video for step by step instructions where needed.
Remember, you don’t need to use technology to listen to a playlist. You can have a sing song or gather old CDs and records. The important part is tracking down the songs which will be on the playlist.
