Computers and technology are wonderful things – if you know how to use them. Nowadays, people are directed and re-routed to websites and online tools for everything from doctors’ visits to meetings with co-workers and even families.
Rebuild Communities NC is partnering with AARP’s Senior Planet to provide people 50 years and older a series of workshops to help them navigate an increasingly digital world.
In the month of June, seniors can learn about a variety of topics, from managing your privacy online to telemedicine and My Chart.
The classes will be held at the Vance County Senior Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon, according to information from Edythe Thompson with Rebuild Communities NC.
Here’s a list of the scheduled dates and topics:
- June 1 – Affordable Home Internet

- June 13 and 15 – Hosting a Zoom Meeting
- June 20 – Google Workspace
