The Boomers Adventures in Technology

Boomer's Learning to maneuver through using current technology

An IT specialist was asked by our church, Cathedral of Faith COGIC, to serve as a computer training instructor for a volunteer program at a senior citizen’s residence home in the mid-city as a part of the Women's Mission Auxiliary Group. This would be an outreach sponsored by that group as an extension of their community program. I serve as her assistant and together we are helping other mature adults to become familiar with using computers, tablets, and smart phones.


Session XXI-Arrival of New Laptops

12/1/2017

We finally received the laptops from TCU that it took months of negotiations to obtain. But they needed to new batteries.  When the laptops are purchased they come with only basic software and the batteries usually have to be replaced. TCU was kind they gave us wired mouse for each computer and a docking station if we wanted to leave them out in the class.

But we will not be leaving them to be used by the other residents its just for the classes use so we also had to purchase two carts to transport the machines back and forth each week along with out other equipment.  There is no place we can safely lock up the computers.  Besides we are still working on getting them up and running the way they need to be for class.  This means we have to bring them home to work on them at our leisure.
