How to teach tech to our older colleagues

Many older colleagues want to use common tech (photos, messaging, Zoom, online forms) but feel overwhelmed. With a good teaching approach, small wins stack fast.The 7 Rules for Teaching Older Learners (panel can riff)1. Start with purpose, not features. Ask: “What do you want this to help you do this week?”2. One task per session. Success once, unaided — then stop.3. I do → We do → You do. Demo once, do it together, then they do it solo.4. Use their words & write steps down. Make a 4–5-step card; snap a photo of it.5. Slow the tempo; narrate actions. “Open Photos… tap Share… press and hold…”6. Translate jargon. “Two-factor” → “second step to prove it’s you.”7. Praise the process. Celebrate spot-on actions (“You found the Share icon—nice!”).Senior Planet @ https://www.seniorplanet.org/Older Adults Technology Services @ https://www.oats.org/ A great example from their site is “AI for Older Adults” @ https://oats.org/oats-publishes-ai-for-older-adults-guide/  Email us at [email protected]: https://www.thepodtalk.netYouTube Channel: YouTube.com/@OldMacGang
