During the pandemic, ENP Health + Wellness conducted a community needs assessment. We learned that community members had a lot of stress due to the transition of school and doctor’s appointments going virtual.
To help eliminate the stress, in 2020 ENP launched a Digital Literacy for adults in English and Spanish. This class teaches community members basic computer skills such as; Typing, Zoom and Microsoft Team, Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Google Translation, Youtube, email, and etiquette of electronic correspondence and messages.
The outcome of this class has been outstanding! Community members are able to attend zoom meetings/classes and are now able to help their children/grandchildren with their school work. We re-launched this class on March 1st and had 22 Spanish-speaking community members attend. We look forward to seeing these participants take control of their digital footprint and learn more about how they can engage online.
