Picture This
This project is for adults aged 55+ who live in Sandwell. We are offering to lend you an internet ready tablet and provide one-to-one lessons in your own home. If you already have a computer or other internet ready device, we can also provide sessions for you using these. These sessions are based on an individual plan for what the client wishes to learn. This could range from online shopping to playing games, Skyping and much more.
Learning in a small group in a community setting
Learning one to one in a community setting
Working with our learners so that they are engaged and interested and teaching them at their own pace are the foundations of our programme. We will support people to become more digitally able with patience, understanding and to help people become less frightened of technology.
