Looking for assistance in teaching older adults technology basics? Our virtual Digital Literacy Clubs provide a nurturing environment where seniors and other older adults can learn together while having fun. Digital literacy is considered essential intelligence in today’s society and we help bridge the digital divide to improve quality of life for older adults.
At Tech Coaches, we understand that learning the basics of technology can be particularly difficult for generations who aren’t accustomed to using computers, smartphones, and apps in their everyday lives. But we also realize that keeping their finger on the pulse of technology can help older adults in many ways, including increasing confidence, improving social interactions, and boosting overall mental and physical health.
Our Digital Literacy Clubs involve eight or more weekly Zoom sessions with a group of participants who are eager to learn about topics such as texting, emailing, Windows, online safety and privacy, and more. We cover a specific topic in each session and allow time for questions and answers. Would your organization benefit from hosting a Tech Coaches Digital Literacy Club? Contact us today to find out how we can help you create a thriving community of tech-savvy older adults.
“Tech Coaches’ work demonstrates that they fully understand the principles of adult education and they are able to design programs for older adults in a way that allows them to fully integrate new learning with their lifetime of education and experience. With consistent 5 star ratings, participants always walk away from Tech Coaches programs with more information, insight and skills than they imagined and often they feel like they have made a friend in Chris and Melinda. As a health care provider to older adults with complex chronic health conditions, this is significantly valued in terms of responsive, client-centered care and program development.”
