Students are assigned a small group of seniors at a Nursing Home close to their school. They will establish email adresses for each of the seniors involved in the Program and teach them how to send and receive emails. Once the seniors have mastered the ability to send and recieve emails they will be introduced to other "cyber-seniors", living in other Nursing Homes, through email. They will be encouraged to exchange emails with other "cyber-seniors" and share their experiences, jokes, pictures, etc. There will also be opportunities for some seniors to learn how to se and talk with loved ones in far away places, using skype or other equivalent programs. Imagine the joy of being able to visit with a grandchild over the internet!!!
