Thinking down the road to this Fall and Winter.... We are thinking of organizing a small cadre of tech savy persons to visit you and your computer. They will set up Firefox on your computer, Make your computer display large print adjusted to your taste (throw those reading glasses away ). Big icons for older eyes. Have your desktop show large icons. Generally, make your computer more senior friendly... I will teach them how... You will make appointments for them to visit your computer... I will act as help for the new teachers... Help them with problems they encounter..
There is always someone who knows a bit more... or understands computers but we are looking for a few folks that would have fun doing this for people.. I will teach... you learn and commit to helping folks in our community when and if you can. Everyone moves forward... Time marches on and this teacher's corp learns how to help the blind, the hard of hearing , helps people set up their own customized newspaper, teaches how to use picture albums and make slide shows...as Martha would say, "It's a good thing".
There is already one on one classes for computers every Tuesday at the clubhouse computer lab. People come with very specific things they want to learn and we help them. They start at 9am and run to 1pm. They are currently closed but as those long winter nights close in on us... We will take more students.
Since this is a time away in the future we are just posting a survey to see the interest level in the park...You will see the survey in the right column.. Find this appealing? Mark it up...
