For this week's class, the second book presentation for Happiness is a Choice You Make happened. We also debriefed about going back to the Gary and Mary West Center, and it was nice going around hearing what everyone had to say about the interactions tehy had. Our Debunking Ageism projects were also due today. Victoria and I created a website blog for our project to debunk the stereotype of seniors not understanding technology, specifically the usage of an iPhone. We used the website to share a guide that 2 seniors (iPhone specialists) wrote to help other seniors understand how to use an iPhone. We covered topics such as how to text message, call, personalize home/lock screens, Facetime, and download apps. For our last blog, we shared some facts that debunk the stereotypes of elders being technophobes. It was a lot of fun making the website and also took time. Professor Bussell also went over how to create our Healthy Aging Project posters that we will be eventually presenting at the end of the quarter and and the do's and don'ts of creating a standout poster. We didn't have time to provide peer feedback on the Debunking Ageism projects, but we did have more time to work on our intergenerational walking event that will be happening on June 1st. We have already finalized materials and are still finalizing a t shirt design. People from walking groups have already RSVPed on the google form created, which is wonderful. Everything is coming together nicely.
