Who says senior citizens are technologically illiterate? To dispel that rumor, MSAD#44 Adult and Continuing Education staff presented three “Introduction to Technology Forums” in September and October.
Topics
included Intro to Facebook, Pinterest, and Skype; Intro to I-PAD; and
Intro to Kindle and E-Reader. Lois Ruff and Lauren Gailitis showed
us how to set up accounts, how to ensure digital security, and how to
download apps, many of which are free.
The
classes were small, but we students were eager participants. We
asked a myriad of questions, explored many options and, with
knowledgeable and very patient mentors, learned a lot and had a
great time.
Thanks
to Jeannie Waite, Adult Ed director, and to our super teachers for
developing this forum and for supporting us in connecting
with the technological world!
Keep
tuned for announcements regarding future programs to be offered, perhaps before spring. Stay connected!
