If you've ever been frustrated by your interactions with your computer or the internet and wished you had more knowledge about the way things work, help may be on the way. Poolesville Seniors has partnered with Senior Planet in Montgomery County to bring training to our area. Senior Planet is a technology training program designed for learners 50 and older. They offer free classes and courses on a variety of technological topics. Classes are offered at many locations around the county, and Poolesville Seniors would like to bring these opportunities to Poolesville!
Come meet the instructors and learn more about the Senior Planet program on 12-10-2025 from 2:30 to 3:30 at Poolesville Presbyterian Church, Speer Hall. At this session we will learn about OATS (Older Adults Technology Services) and Senior Planet. We'll be able to give some feedback as to what type of classes and courses you'd like to see offered. You can register to participate at: Senior Planet: Redefining Aging in the Digital Age – Poolesville Seniors
The program is supported by the County's Department of Technology Service in partnership with nonprofit OATS (Older Adults Technology Services). The County's Department of Recreation and Montgomery County Public Libraries also are partners in helping provide the classes at no charge to participants.
Sessions concentrate on user-friendly tools and resources and are designed to enable older adults to learn to utilize technologies that improve their daily lives. Senior Planet in Montgomery utilizes curricula created by OATS, which also provides training staff and works with numerous County departments to identify topics of interest for Montgomery residents.
