Baoding Lotus Pond District: Mobile phone classroom into the community The elderly enjoy intelligent life

At 2:30 p.m. on December 7, there was a strong learning atmosphere in the Qingdong Lane Community Activity Room in Lianchi District, and more than 50 middle-aged and elderly residents from Hepingli Street attended a smart phone operation training class with teachers from Baoding Community Education College and volunteers of Lemanjia Club.

Super practical, hand in hand to teach the elderly to play WeChat

The reporter saw at the scene that the huge activity room was full, the old people took off their cotton clothes, put on flower glasses, held up their mobile phones in their left hands, poked and poked at the tips of their right fingers, operated step by step according to the requirements of the teacher, and from time to time picked up a pen to write down the steps in the notebook, and learned seriously.

How to send positioning, how to use the collection recognition and "sweep" payment function in WeChat are the main contents of this lesson. Du Kun, a young teacher from Baoding Community Education College, carefully produced a 19-page PPT file and printed a number of two-dimensional codes, and the old people entered the group chat initiated by Teacher Du by scanning the code, and also learned how to grab red envelopes and distribute red envelopes, and the classroom atmosphere was immediately active. Throughout the teaching process, the volunteers of the Lemanjia Club stood around the activity room and tutored the elderly at any time to carry out each step of operation.

Yu Shuxiang, a 78-year-old resident of Qingdong Lane Community, is the leader of the community culture team and has played a residual role in community work and residents' lives for many years. The old man told reporters after class that as soon as she heard that the community was going to open a mobile phone class, she couldn't wait to learn, "I learned a few new tricks, and I haven't used these functions that the teacher talked about today." Voice calls and video calls in WeChat are the most common communication methods for Aunt Yu and her old friends, and she finds it difficult to have the content of the class that day, lamenting that there are still too many places she does not understand.

"Social progress is too fast, do not learn to keep up with the times, our community this training is particularly good, in the future if you send some more teaching materials, we can follow the practice at any time, so that the elderly are not afraid of disconnection from society!" Aunt Yu's words spoke to the voices of many elderly people at the scene.

"We will do what the community needs"

The reporter learned from the event site that the General Office of the State Council recently issued the "Implementation Plan on Effectively Solving the Difficulties of the Elderly in Using Intelligent Technology", proposing to adopt a combination of online and offline methods through universities (schools) for the elderly, old-age service institutions, community education institutions, etc., to help the elderly improve their ability and level of using intelligent technology, so that the elderly can share the fruits of smart city development. Baoding Community Education College actively responds, coordinates with multiple parties, organizes mobile classroom public lectures, and provides more comprehensive, intimate and direct convenience services for the elderly.

"We will do what the community needs." The relevant person in charge of Baoding Community Education College introduced to reporters that the elderly now have an urgent need to learn to use smart phones, such as online certification, download applications, online shopping, online payment, scanning health codes, handheld buses, etc., which are closely related to their daily lives. "We have selected teachers with relevant experience as volunteers to come to the lecture, the elderly students responded very well, and in the future, we will continue to carry out the 'public welfare classroom into the community' series of training activities, and train a certain number of community workers and volunteers to participate, write a smart phone use tutorial, improve the happiness index of the elderly's life, and promote the popularization of lifelong learning for the whole people."

In recent years, in order to further improve the lifelong learning system for the whole people and build a platform for lifelong learning for citizens, the lifelong learning experience base of Baoding Community Education College has been listed in Lemanjia Club, Zhili Shang shufang, Dr. Dentist Stomatological Hospital, "National Literacy Improvement Alliance" and other places, innovating cooperation models, constantly opening up more learning places, and promoting the healthy development of community education and elderly education in our city. Take the Lemanjia Club established in 2016, which has opened more than 20 free public welfare classes such as vocal music classes, ballroom dance classes, smart phone classes, recitation classes, Chinese studies lecture classes, photography classes, and traditional Chinese medicine health classes for the elderly, and over the past four years, millions of middle-aged and elderly people have benefited from them.
