Senior citizens embrace technology at Broken Arrow Senior Center event

Loreita Belding was thrilled to attend the “step into technology” event at Broken Arrow Senior Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The event aimed to teach seniors about their smartphones and how to use them for various tasks like taking photos, managing contacts and making calls.

During the one-on-one sessions, participants received personalized help with their devices. Joan Lock, another attendee, was particularly excited to learn about camera functions and storage on her iPhone. Everyone received tips on taking selfies and clearing storage to optimize their phones.

The event was organized by Ami Bucher, the senior center’s manager. Bucher emphasized the importance of patient instruction and ongoing practice for learning new technology. The positive feedback from participants has prompted the center to plan future technology learning events to continue supporting seniors in their tech education.
