Bridging the Digital and Cultural Divide
The Internet has become the library of today and the communication hub for sharing email, photos and video. Providing access, support and tools necessary to successfully navigate the information conduit of today is our goal.
As one of the seniors said in a focus group meeting . . .
"We want to show high school students our world and we want to experience their world". Technology has become a vital part of our everyday life but not for seniors and they often feel left behind. In an effort to bridge the digital divide for seniors, the program fosters increase mental health, and aptitude through supported and effective use of technology. Many residents love to research old friends contact information, watch video of concerts, shop, email and social media.

In collaboration with a generous grandparent the launch of the Digital Photography Program began, with grant funding awarded to Chartwell School. I worked with Kris Hill and Gerry Davis to develop the Digital Photography Program. The program provides students with cameras for use during class and a special field trip/classroom set is available for checkout by teachers for use on projects in class and experiential trips. The program continues to foster creative photographic inspiration through the annual photo contest, which is judged by top photographers in the field.
