Pop-up iPad Class

Last week we visited our wonderful friends at Little Sisters of the Poor / St Joseph’s Home to deliver a ‘pop-up’ iPad class to a small group of residents.

In many cases, the older people we reach through these ‘pop-ups’ have had little opportunity to explore the social, economic and recreational benefits that technology can offer. Often the obvious ‘generational barrier’ is further reinforced by factors such as economic disadvantage, limited or negative experiences with education, lower literacy levels or age-related cognitive and physical decline.
