It’s a very special class that meets today for the first time at IIS Marconi in Milano at the school managed by Headmaster Donata Graziella Scotti. The appointment is from 2:45 to 4:45 in the school computer lab.
Twenty-one over-65s will return to school to attend an original digital literacy course held by students at the school and coordinated by Professors Moira Tagliafico (Outgoing Orientation) and Anna Sgubbi (School-Work Programmes).
The class, which is composed nearly entirely by women, includes seven men. The students come from all walks of life from teachers to painters.
Mobile communications, the efficient use of smartphones and tablets, and the ability to exploit apps will no longer hold any secrets to this class thanks to the second edition of “Grandparents On-line. Everyone’s Young at the Post Office.”
The digital literacy project is promoted by Poste Italiane and the Fondazione Mondo Digitale in 20 cities throughout Italy to teach elders to use the Internet and introduce them to digital culture with the help of young teachers.
