Topics of technology are arising and coming at us faster than ever. Many of these innovative items can be daunting, and one may not know where to start. AARP has stepped in with an idea that will alleviate any stress and make learning technology fun! AARP is a nonprofit organization with a membership of more than 37 million that helps people turn their goals and dreams into real possibilities, strengthens communities, and fights
issues that matter most to families such as healthcare, employment security, and retirement (Source ~ aarp.org). One resource available through AARP is TEK, which stands for Technology Education and Knowledge. AARP TEK provides workshops, tools, and tips related to the ever-changing world of technology. Topics include introductions to smartphones and tablets, social media, online safety, and much more!
Workshops ~ The free workshops vary by location, and some provide the equipment while others allow attendees to bring their very own device. What a wonderful way to have hands-on learning about a specific device!
Videos ~ TEK videos are full of information about topics such as Enjoying eBooks or Facebook Basics. The videos allow the ability to learn at a comfortable pace with someone or in a private environment.
Articles ~ The clear and concise articles make for easy-reading without overindulging in “techy” words. Perhaps you’re interested in online shopping but safety or simply where to start are barriers. There’s an article for that too!
So, stay curious, connect with these types of resources, and jump into the endless world of technology!
