CANFIELD — If you have a child or teen in the family, you’re set: You have a built-in technology tutor.
If not, the Ursuline Center offers social media workshops that provide one-on-one help.
Technology has been an integral part in the lives of younger generations for a few decades. They use it at school and socially. Older generations may see the value in learning technology but be slightly intimidated by it and constant changes. The Ursuline Center sessions are intended to help the technology-challenged.
Sister Nancy Pawlen, assistant center director, coordinates the workshops that pair tech-savvy young adults with older people who need advice on how to use smartphones, laptops, photo apps, social media and more.
Sister Nancy said the center started the social media sessions in fall 2014. She said the sessions grew out of the young adult outreach program coordinated by Sister Nancy Raupple. The sessions provide a volunteer avenue for young adults while providing a service.
