Computer Training Encouragement - Catch 22

10/16/06 · 8:36 am :: posted by DennisSrCenter

While at the Senior Center we try to encourage and enable seniors to use PC, it is almost a classical Catch-22 to try to do so here in this blog. If you can read this, you are already computing! Maybe some of you readers here might think of the Senior Center as a computer resource for family (grandparents do just fine in our classes), neighbors, or friends who think of approaching computers with fear and trembling. We are gentle with the truly timid and technoligcally terrified. Our classes and coaching are are not geeky, and we can relate to our demographic age-group peers.

Also there are issues of accessibility - such as poor eyesight, shaky hands, which deter from taking the first step to computing. These are also addressed both technically and sympathetically.

And we don't card anyone or check addresses (that is, not restricted by age or residence).

Hello. My name is Pam and I am the Public Information Officer for Senior Friendship Centers in Sarasota, Florida. I was doing some research regarding BLOGS for Senior Centers and ran across yours. I see it just began this week. I'll be interested to see how it evolves. We are at www.seniorfriendship.com if interested in our Center. We also teach basic-beginner computer classes. Have a nice day!
