Starting in August - 'Tech Savvy Seniors'

1/8/2015

 
At our last Meet and Mingle we discussed a new group proposal which may interest 'Making the Most of the Internet' participants – working title ‘Tech Savvy Seniors'.

"Are you reasonably ‘Tech Savvy’, keen to continue developing your knowledge and skills and to assist others to develop digital literacy?  Then ‘Tech Savvy Seniors’ may be of interest to you.  Monthly meetings will include sharing of ideas and pearls of wisdom; news of the latest in IT development and presentations on topics of interest by informed group members and guest speakers.  Meetings will also provide a regular forum for sharing and problem solving for class members working on developing and maintaining the web site; procuring and maintaining IT resources and participating in projects which help to increase the digital literacy of other U3A members." 

 A ‘taster’ session will be held on the second Wednesday in August (Wednesday 12th) from 10 am to 12 midday in W4.  For more information contact Bev on 5762 8171.

Ian McLeod and Lorraine Knox at Meet and Mingle in July. Ian's 'tech savviness' proved most useful in linking the laptops to Wi Fi so we could run a Treasure Hunt in small groups. The Treasure Hunt - designed to help members get to know the website - was originally Lorraine's idea and she happily acted as a guinea pig in trying it out. Thanks Ian and Lorraine.

    About 'Making the most of the internet"

    Designed by Ian McLeod and offered initially in Semester 1, 2015, 'Making the Most of the Internet' is a course for those who want to venture beyond the basics, 'Making the Most of the Internet' looks at the Internet, rather than dealing with devices, hardware or software.  The aim is to better understand what the internet can do by discussing topics such as Wikipedia, Metadata, Torrenting, Youtube, VPN, ISP, ADSL, NBN.
