About the Presentation:
The COVID-19 pandemic isolated older adults, especially those who had no access or knowledge of getting online. While many organizations turned to Zoom to offer online activities, it left out the most vulnerable who were unable to pick up the technology. In the end, it is not about technology but rather how getting online provides meaning and purpose. We will discuss meaningful activities for older adults using a framework of Control, Connect and Contribution, and how various technologies support this.
