Ellsworth Adult Education Digital Literacy Volunteer Workshop (Session 1)

with Richards & Sargent

Oct

October 3rd, 2022

Free More Info

Make a difference in this digital age! The pandemic has increased dependence on technology and Ellsworth Adult Education has many people seeking individual support with digital devices (computers, smart phones, and tablets.) Almost all of these learners are functioning at a basic level. Our experience shows that computer classes are challenging as everyone has a different device, software, learning style and goal. Over the past year, we have started a Computer Cafe - designed as a computer lab of sorts - where people can come to meet individually or in small groups to learn from one another and an experienced teacher. We have found this approach to be very effective. In order to grow this program, we need volunteers to assist the instructor to provide theindividualized instruction. This is an in-person workshop.

This workshop builds on the Ellsworth Adult Education Volunteer Orientation and the Ellsworth Adult Education Tutoring Basics workshop which are prerequisites for this workshop.
