Grandkids Give Grandparents Gift of Computer Learning

(NUI) - Sixty-five-year-old Gaynell Junior never thought she'd learn to use a computer. But, that was before her 15-year-old grandson bought her a gift membership to ExperienceSeniorPower.com.

"I'm learning so much and making friends with seniors across the country and I never have to leave the house," she said.

Junior's not alone. Senior citizens nationwide are turning to this online community for an innovative computer learning experience.

Seniors receive detailed training in Microsoft Word through publishing their autobiographies online. Lessons in using scanners turn innovative flair on its head, as seniors scan and post 50 pictures in their own online family photo album. Other lessons include e-mail, keyboard use and Microsoft Excel. Included with membership is a large print, senior-friendly workbook making these lessons a breeze.

Seniors who don't have grandkids around are forming ExperienceSeniorPower clubs and learning together. If there's no computer at home, they're heading to the library or community center.

As seniors learn, they connect with peers nationwide. Support groups connect seniors living with diabetes, Parkinson's disease and other ailments, while message boards find seniors talking about investment planning and politics. Medical and dietary experts answer seniors' questions, and the site contains an archive of senior-related articles ranging from healthy lifestyle practices to legislation.

The Web site carries 850 discounted products for seniors. From flowers to sugar-free chocolates and home health care items, quality is guaranteed in a safe environment accessible only by private password.

At just $29.99 for the workbook and three-month online membership, families find ExperienceSeniorPower.com a low-cost, high-quality gift for grandparents on their birthdays or anytime.

"My mother has new life," said Pamela Junior, Gaynell's daughter. "For her to learn under the guidance of my son, Christopher, warms my heart."

Christopher believes he's found the perfect gift to thank grandma for a lifetime of support.

"For all the lessons grandma taught me, I'm happy to give her something back," Christopher said.

For grandma, this gift brings a community of peers, necessary products and services right into her home. But the greatest gift is her growing relationship with her grandson and computer teacher.

"He's made me so proud," she said.
