Free assistance for senior citizens using digital devices.

The internet and the connectivity it provides, offers more people access to information, education, social connection and much more.

Learning how to get the best from your computer, smartphone, tablet or wearable tech can deliver amazing benefits for your wellbeing and can help you make better choices and gain greater control.

Know Your Gizmo is a program that runs over a few weeks where you will learn to use your electronic device to its full capacity.  You can bring along your iPod, camera, smart phone, laptop – any Gizmo you would like to learn more about. Sessions will be one hour face to face with a volunteer student from a local high school.

Interact online with your children, grandchildren and friends. Learn how to upload and download photos, make a Facebook account. Get the most from your smart phone and ensure your GPS gets you to your holiday destination.

The Know Your Gizmo program was developed by the Albury Wodonga Volunteer Resource Bureau, with a grant from:

Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN)

This program has now been rolled out across many local schools with wonderful results from both students and participants.

The project resources are now available across NSW with support from the Department of Family and Community Services. Download the resource materials here.
