The initiative below is an offering from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to offer Michigan's older adults free, live interactive online classes. These offerings are a great complement to programing you may be offering at your library already to your communities. Attached here are informational flyers to help you learn more about GetSetUp and also promote it to your older adult patrons. The classes focus on supporting the use of digital devices such as computers, smartphone, tablets as well as other services such as Zoom, social media and more. There are more than 150 online classes for older adults and a coupon code of MICHIGANHEALTH listed on the site to use to waive any fees associated with the classes. What can you do? Incorporate this link in your library website to provide additional content/training for your local seniors Do you regularly get questions from your senior community that are best answered by 1-1 tech classes but you are not fully open or you have limited staff to provide 1-1 assistance? Connect your older patrons to GetSetUp classes so they can learn digital literacy skills and more Digital literacy is a great need in the senior community and during the pandemic there are many services available but not all of our residents are comfortable or know how to use them. This initiative is a great way to help raise the skills and knowledge around technology use as well as help create social connections for many that may feel extra isolated at this time.
