In the classroom, students will be able to create digital photographic material to share through social networks or email.

''My digital album'' is the workshop that inaugurates the course cycle of the XXIV School for the Elderly, organized by the Extension Directorate of the University of La Serena, in conjunction with the Educational Computing Center of the study house . 

These activities aim to educate our older adults about current digital tools. To this end, registration was opened to participate in this workshop that will create a digital product, where students will be able to print images of unforgettable moments in their lives, thus achieving a unique and original digital product to share virtually. 

Registration will remain open until April 1 or until all places are sold out and the workshop will be held from April 2 to 28, Monday and Wednesday from 15:00 p.m. to 16:30 p.m. achieving a total of 16 pedagogical hours, for a single value of $6.000.

Classes will be held at the Educational Computing Center (Isabel Bongard Campus) and are aimed only at older adults. Basically the objective is for each participant to create an album with their photographs. The only prerequisite is knowing computing at the user level, that is, turning on the computer and executing basic actions. 

The speakers will be Eva Toro and Karina Núñez, both professionals from the Educational Computing Center, who have previously worked with older adults, which has been quite pleasant for them. ''It is a very rewarding experience since the older adults give you a lot of love and are very grateful for the treatment, the patience and the entire teaching process that we have with them,'' commented Karina Núñez.

Participants will have a support manual for each session, which will include basic and key tips so they can carry out the task. In addition, the teacher guaranteed a personalized course, respecting the learning times of each student and extended a cordial invitation. ''I invite all older adults to participate in this workshop, they will not regret it, they will learn to use technologies. Here we teachers have a lot of patience and a lot of affection towards you, so you are all cordially invited to sign up,'' said the rapporteur.
