Computer Coaching for Seniors by Seniors
STAY YOUNG - Keep your brain alive and active by learning about the wonders of this age. Learn computer skills in a friendly environment by other Seniors.
What is SeniorNet?
The aim of SeniorNet is to help seniors learn to use computers in a friendly and relaxed environment. The learning sessions are guided by fellow seniors, many of whom have themselves learned their computer skills at SeniorNet.
There are SeniorNet clubs in many countries, and in New Zealand most towns have at least one SeniorNet club.
How does it all work?
We have a learning centre with more than a dozen computers. Computer courses have weekly lessons lasting two hours with a break for tea of coffee. The longer courses run for with to ten weeks and the shortest for four weeks. Courses generally run during the school terms.
Each student works at an individual computer in a class of up to eight people with three or four coaches per class. Students have their own course manual, supplied by the club. They may have an exercise disk which they may take home for practice activities. There are no tests or exams, and no pressure to work beyond the pace you wish. The classes are friendly and relaxed.
