Teens were at the door of Mountain High School to welcome their friends from the Heritage Senior Center in Clearfield. The seniors were there to learn about technology from the students, not the teachers. Inside the computer lab, seniors were teamed up with students at computers connected to the Internet, while across the school in the technology iab, more seniors were learning about things some of them had never heard of. None of the seniors admitted having ever been on the Internet. They hadn't heard of "search engines or URLs or "navigating. "Ive heard talk about a mouse and a window, said senior citizen Iloyd Erickson. I figure the mouse gets caught in the window sometimes. Another senior said he hasnt had much interest in computers because he has a difficult time seeing the screen. Teachers, students and seniors are all e basis at this school. In oron a der to graduate, students must do community service projects. A group of students, under the direction of teacher Ron Chris- tiansen, goes to the Heritage Center every week to perform a service. The students and seniors also go on field trips together. -Teaching the seniors about the Internet is part of that program, except this time the seniors came to the students. first-nam- to get -- There is nothing I want to look for, said Erickson, "I just want to know which buttons to push. I used to type 20 years ago, before I retired. But Erickson docs have an interest in basketball, so his computer partner helped him to find the NBA playoffs on the Inter- net I looked at those books for dummies, Erickson said about his quest for computer knowledge, "but this dummy didnt even know what book to get Someone told him he could click on the help button. But Erickson said, "I came here for help. When told he had to have a modem to connect to the Internet, he said, "Whatever a modem is. Across the room Anna Nielsen was helping Bemadine Mills search for genealogy. "My son wants me to get into it so I thought I might as well come here and see if I want to or not, Mills said. She has a computer at home but does not have access to the IntcmcL Her husband Hugh Mills was learning from teen Jared Mayltn. He also is interested in genealogy. Nutrition is another interest of the couple, so Nielsen quickly showed them how Floyd Erickson to find information of osteoporosis. Others were interested in movies and explored film festivals on the net. For many of the seniors, This is the first step with technology," said Christiansen. After about 40 minutes cf surfing the Net, the seniors traded places with the other half of the group and went to the technology lab. That is really advanced over there, said center director Paula Wright as she came from the technology lab. This is advanced here, but that is really advanced. The technology lab is set up to do filming, editing, creating and other technical things. Business teacher Jonathan Pierce talked about computers and explained the parts of the computer and what they are used for. Then he showed them some of the fun things computers can do. Ill show you one fun thing I like to do with pictures, he said as he showed the group a picture of a young woman with a mustache. He placed the picture in a scanner and scanned it into the computer. Then projecting the picture from the computer to the wall so everyone could sec, he explained how he could take the skin of the face and move it over the mustache to remove iu One of the things Pierce liked best about the computers capabilities is that he can send pictures across the country and around the world. As an example, he told the seniors that if a couple lived far from their parents and had just had a new baby, they could send pictures of the baby on the Internet to the grandparents and they could see them the very same day. He said he had a box full of photos left when his grandfather died. Sharing those photos with all members of the family is possible simply by scanning them and putting them on a disk. "You could put a CD with pictures on it in a safe deposit box and if there was a flood you would still have your pictures, he explained. As Pierce was demonstrating, a video was being filmed by a student. This video was then put into a player and onto the computer. As the video was transferred to the computer, one of the seniors whispered, Fascinating. Pierce told the group they need to use their computers even though they make mistakes. When you make mistakes you learn," he said. The class gave some of the seniors more confidence to try. I am going lo go home and use my scanner, Llwcll said. A couple of the women showed off the coupons they got from the Internet with the help of Nielsen. It was way fun with them, Aimce Broadbent said.
