Today’s technology makes it easier than ever to stay close to the people who matter — whether they’re across town or across the country. In this workshop, we cover texting, email, video calls, photo sharing, and the most popular communication apps. You’ll learn the difference between real messages and spam, how to spot fake friend requests, and how to confidently stay in touch without worrying about scams.
We also explore fun digital tools for strengthening social connections: community groups, hobby sites, online classes, and safe social media practices tailored for older adults. By the end, you’ll feel more comfortable reaching out, participating, and staying involved.
How this helps older adults:
-
Strengthens connections with family and friends
-
Reduces isolation by opening digital social options
-
Teaches safe communication and how to avoid impersonation scams
-
Builds confidence using messaging, video chat, and email
