Another LIFE Asset:
The Computer Education Lab (CEL)
Who says senior citizens can’t learn the new technologies? The vast majority of LIFE members get information from us on-line. As we celebrate LIFE’s 20th anniversary, we can think back twenty years and wonder -- what did we do without all this instant communication?
Okay, so computer talk is easy for many of us. How about helping other LIFE members into the computer age? The LIFE Computer Education Lab (CEL) is equipped with modern computers, and we will shortly be installing Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007.
If you have worked with these programs, we could use the skills you have acquired.
You can help by teaching current CEL instructors about the changes in the new software, by teaching a course yourself, or by teaching with the help of a current CEL instructor. Teaching in the CEL is not onerous: one to four sessions of 2 hours a week with 4 students, at a time and day that suits you. If you have ideas about other computer courses, please let us know! We welcome all suggestions to enhance our members’ enjoyment of their computers.
So, if computer skills are among your assets, we hope you will consider helping.
Please contact Hermine Borduas, Computer Course Coordinator, at hborduas@sympatico.ca, or Rosanne Bernard, our LIFE Office Administrator, at lifeinst@ryerson.ca.
