Instructor/coach in technology classes

Become a new volunteer in Raleigh SrTechEd (RSTE) as an instructor and/or a coach. An instructor would prepare class handouts and teach classes. A coach would primarily help students at our in-person help sessions. We currently teach classes on computers, hand-held devices, Internet and related subjects, as well as other topics of interest, especially for seniors.

We are looking for people who could bring fresh ideas for subjects that will help seniors. These subjects could leverage your life experiences like career and hobbies, and could include topics such as:

• Navigating the medical world: telemedicine (virtual visits with health providers), online health resources, like MyChart, WebMD, etc.
• Saving money: Online shopping, using coupons, Craig’s List, Angi, eBay, Amazon, affordable home Internet
• Social media: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, etc.
• Artificial intelligence: What is it and how will it affect me?
• Managing your finances: online banking and bill paying, budget management
• Trip planning and transportation: tours, cruises, Uber, Lyft, renting cars and buying airline tickets online
• eBooks and eReaders: Such as Kindle, eReader vs. tablet computer
• Buying groceries and restaurant food online
• Cutting the cord: streaming (with Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.), smart TVs
• Messaging: such as iMessage, Google Chat, WhatsApp
