Central Community House hosts a Technology Assistance Project that helps adults 60 and over to learn computer skills, gives them a free laptop.
The program started two years ago, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when a funder suggested the settlement house offer the classes, Forrest said.
She quizzed participants on how to turn the volume up and down on their devices, and what keys lead to what commands. Then, she began teaching them how to use Google Meet for video calls, and how to open and type in a Google document and change fonts and text sizes. A survey showed that 95% of seniors involved in TAP have increased their technology skill sets, and 93% say TAP has helped them combat isolation, Forrest said.
