Programs to Learn Technology
Tech Education for Older Adults
At SCOA, we believe that embracing technology can improve the lives of older adults by encouraging social connection and independence. We understand that technology can be intimidating, so we offer classes and programs tailored to the needs of seniors..
Our technology classes provide a supportive and friendly learning environment where older adults can gain hands-on experience with the devices and tools that matter most in their lives, from smartphones to tablets, computers, and beyond.
Learn Tech Your Way
One-on-One Lessons
Learn about technology at your own pace through personalized one-on-one instruction. You'll coordinate with an instructor to set a time for your one-on-one lesson, where you'll gain valuable tips and tricks for using your technology and devices with ease and confidence.
We offer lessons for a range of technologies, including iPhones, iPads, Android phones, tablets, laptops, and assistance with email and apps. To make the most of your session, please remember to bring your device, Apple ID (if using an Apple device) and any necessary passwords.
These 1.5-hour sessions cost $30 and are scheduled by calling our office at 306-652-2255.
iPad Lending Library
The SCOA iPad Lending Library helps older adults develop their tech skills in the comfort of their own homes. Whether you prefer self-paced learning or wish to have a family member or friend assist you, our library of iPads is available to support your learning process - free of cost!
Additionally, SCOA is actively collaborating with senior living facilities to offer on-site and virtual learning opportunities to ensure that technology is accessible to all.
Thank you to the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative for supporting the iPad Lending Library.
