Computer and Internet Workshop at Great Times Club

We organized a Computer and Internet workshop at our new senior club Great Times by Samvedna yesterday. It was a two hour workshop on internet basics, email and Facebook. The workshop was attended by senior citizens from various localities of Gurgaon.

The workshop was interactive and started with a self-assessment of each participant. While there were some participants who were aware of email and Facebook there were others who had no prior exposure to computers. 90% of the participants did have an existing email account and about 70% had a Facebook account as well. While most of the participant could manage to operate these tools they had lots of questions on the concepts and configurations and capabilities of these applications.

The facilitator began with the basics of computers to get everyone started and warmed up. Participants were made comfortable and an environment was created so that they could ask their questions freely without hesitation. The basics of email, Facebook and application of these tools were discussed in a simple and interactive way. The participants asked questions about privacy settings on Facebook, issues of spam emails, security concerns and other general queries.

Overall it was a great morning with a curious and vibrant set of seniors, keen to learn computers and be independent with technology.
