St. Agnes library

“Today at St. Agnes library, we have sessions running really smoothly. Seeing seniors from the previous session looking for more help was great! I dropped in on multiple sessions to hear what the tutors and seniors were working with. Some were helping with the creation and editing of Facebook and Instagram profiles.  Others were gaining insight on the use of the Gmail platform.  One client was learning about the installation of antivirus programs!  I was very impressed to hear the conversations about different ways to connect to and use the internet.

One session that I became interested in was with Majied and his client, Tina. She was very enthusiastic about her lesson with him! They discussed the basic applications of the phone, including the camera and the Gmail application. She also wrote down everything that she learned so she can practice at home! She was so comfortable with the help she was receiving, that she promised to recommend DGI to her family members! This is excellent because we always look forward to helping more seniors and we have more than enough volunteers to support them. I’m looking forward to the next session and I hope to see more Digital Grandparents, too!

Till next time – signing off,
