Free Device Workshop Provides Tips for Families as Students Head Back to School

September signifies that school is back in session. Pencils are sharpened, while homework is spread across the kitchen table. The start of a school year also is a common time for students to get their first cellphone. In fact, a recent U.S. Cellular survey found that on average, children receive their first cellphone at age 11. U.S. Cellular associates will help students and families prepare for the school year during a free Device Workshop. Attendees will learn how to use their devices, such as an iPad Air 2, iPhone 6s or a Samsung Galaxy S7, to study for the next test, look up information or practice a foreign language. Guests don’t have to be U.S. Cellular customers to attend. “Our associates are available to show parents and kids how to use a smartphone or tablet to enhance and simplify learning,” said Mike Adams, U.S. Cellular’s director of sales for Nebraska and Iowa. “Our high-quality nationwide network connects students to the information they need to succeed in school.” You may call 308-236-2075 for more information or to RSVP.
