Stoke residents get digital!

Following a hugely successful Get Digital project earlier in the year and the creation of a new computer suite onsite at William Fiske Court, residents have continued to increase their IT skills at computer lessions at the centre.

They have been learning the following:

• Sending emails to friends and family
• Emailing attachments and photos to family and friends
• Taking photographs and uploading onto the computer
• Learning to Skype
• Finding out about their local areas
• Learning to Touch Type
• Accessing their family history
• Shopping online
• Searching the Web

This is amazing, considering at the start of the course the majority of the residents didn’t know how to turn the computer on.

The computer room is used daily by a number of residents and they have set up a computer club to ensure sustainability.
