What we’re about
Let's work together to learn to use technology intentionally, safely, and smartly!
It feels like every day there is some new app or system we need to learn how to use or some new threat we need to protect ourselves from. Things are changing fast and it's overwhelming.
This group is a place for people to learn and share information and hopefully support each other in lowering the stress and anxiety around using technology.
We have a monthly virtual community get together where we can all talk about the latest tech news or concerns and share advice and tips with each other.
And in between, we'll have events and opportunities to join training events hosted by professionals as well as events hosted by other members to take a deep dive into a specific topic. (everyone wants to figure out how to really use AI!)
*Members are encouraged to offer ideas for events or offer to host an event where they lead discussion.
