Initiative Description
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Wyoming Assistive Technology Resources partnered with the University of Wyoming School of Nursing, Wyoming Center on Aging, and Wyoming Senior Centers for nursing students to provide training on technology to seniors. Over 1200 individuals with disabilities and professionals viewed YouTube videos created to teach specific technology use, such as: "How to Create a Post on Facebook" or "Visibility Enhancements on an Android Tablet".
Lessons Learned/Replication
Seniors learned to connect with technology for socialization, medical, and community living needs. The major lesson learned was that this is a significant need and the program will continue to address these needs, statewide.
