Detailed Lesson Overview
My training is designed specifically to help older learners and retirees gain confidence, independence, and safety in the digital world. With over 20 years of hands-on IT experience—from corporate system management to individual technical support—I focus on real-world application, not just theory. 1.
The Patient, Customized Method Your Pace is the Only Pace: Lessons are entirely adaptable to your comfort level. We take the time needed to ensure you fully understand each step before moving on. Repetition is welcome and encouraged!
Targeted Learning: We skip the technical jargon and focus only on the tools you need for your life. We can spend an entire session on one app (like WhatsApp or Zoom) until you feel completely confident using it independently.
Fear-Free Environment: My goal is to eliminate the anxiety often associated with new technology. This is a supportive space where there are no "silly questions." 2. Core Curriculum Focus Areas We can build a personalized curriculum from the ground up, focusing on these high-demand areas:
Online Safety & Scam Prevention (Crucial) Recognizing Red Flags: Learn to immediately identify fraudulent emails (phishing), text messages, and phone calls designed to steal money or data.
Secure Browsing: Understanding passwords, two-factor authentication (2FA), and safely clicking links. Online Banking Confidence: Ensuring your financial transactions are safe and secure from home.
Staying Connected & Social Media Mastering Social Platforms: Step-by-step guidance on Facebook, Instagram, or specific forums to easily view and share family photos, stay in touch with friends, and follow interests. Video Calls (Zoom, Meet, WhatsApp): Setting up and confidently joining video calls to connect face-to-face with family and doctors.
Device and Software Fundamentals PC & Smartphone Basics: Efficient file management, organizing photos, managing your email inbox, and troubleshooting common problems like running slow or connection issues.
App Management: Safely downloading, installing, and updating applications on your phone or tablet.
My ultimate goal is for you to feel empowered and secure enough to use technology independently every day.
