Technology Course for Seniors in Browns Bay - How to Use Your Phone

Gavin from Browns Bay

Congratulations on our Senior folks who graduated last week on the Technology Course for Seniors Module 1.
A basic but valuable course for those that find their mobile phones intimidating and the technology frightening.

It was a wonderful opportunity to see them grow in their understanding of how to use their smartphones, and laptops to navigate the Apps and Photos, to become confident and by the end of the course fluent with their phones.

Take a look at some of their comments and how they felt about the course and how they overcame their initial fear of using their phones during the course below:

Elaine (Aged 68)

'"The course was an uncomplicated and practical introduction on how to navigate my smartphone and laptop. Gavin taught me how to maximise my smartphone and to download Apps for my phone, like: WhatsApp, Google Photos, Zoom and more. Every lesson was accompanied by detailed notes. This is a course for everyone regardless of ability and I completed the course feeling more confident and with a desire to still learn more. Thanks Gavin!"

Frank (Aged 70)

"Gavin is able to communicate his knowledge of IT with us "Oldies" in a simplified manner that we can understand and at a pace that takes the course attendees along for the journey. Those that may find it a bit difficult get extra attention. No note taking during the course is necessary as Gavin provides comprehensive notes via email after each lesson. We do a lot of our learning by "Hands On" ourselves with his supervision to guide us. All in all a very worthwhile course."

Trish (Aged 74)

"This course covered all the basic areas for the use of a smartphone, tablets and laptops. We learnt how to use Apps on our smartphones, the technology and technical terminologies related to our devices. There is ample time to ask questionsand get help if you need it. I would recommend this course to anyone needing help to learn the basics of how to use their smartphone, tablet or laptop."

So if you feeling the same, dont let that get in your way as you will easily overcome this. Age is not a barrier, it's easy to learn to use your phone along with others like you.
