Over the last seven years, I have facilitated hundreds of live and online courses for older adults focusing on iPhone, iPad and other technology topics.  These courses have been conducted for community education, service, community, and commercial groups.

This page describes:

  • My ideas for extending learning beyond the class
  • Resources that you are free to use to serve our shared mission.
  • Opportunities for Collaboration

 

Tip:  Learning Should Not Stop When the Class Ends

Here are three ideas that will support learning after the class ends: 

  1. Online Class Page –  For every class, I publish an online page that includes the slide deck, sometimes the recorded video, associated lessons from my catalog and links to other resources.   I use the website Rebrandly.com or Short.io to make the URL links easy.  Sample Page for:  I Didn’t Know my iPhone Could Do That –  https://links.seniortechclub.com/Eagan1 
  2. Handout – For in-person classes, I create a short handout where students can take notes and with information and links to online lessons.  I include a QR code to make access to their online class page easy.    Sample – Advanced iPhone Photography
  3. Homework is Required –  I discuss the homework and practice  that needs to be completed in order to master a topic.
