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.

Digital Photography Program

Perspective Photo taken by Chad S.
In collaboration with a generous grandparent who funded the launch of the Digital Photography Program through technology grant 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 that is checked out by teachers for use on projects in class and during field trips. The program continues to foster creative photographic inspiration through the annual photo contest and the continued work by the Digital Media teachers.
