This semester, I have been using my skills and comfort with technology to help some seniors. I been working with my senior, Ming Ze for the whole semester. What we do every time we meet is to explain and teach her what she wanted to learn. It takes a while for them to get it, but after all its all good.

This semester, you have been using your skills and comfort with technology to help older adults learn what they have wanted to learn. You have been exploring what it means to help a senior using technology.

Please describe your experience with your partner(s). What did you enjoy the most? What was hard at first, but got easier? What surprised you? What didn't surprise you? What do you wish you could have done better or more?

Tell a story of a specific visit when you think you were the most helpful to your parnter(s). Did your partner(s) appreciate your help? How did this make you feel?

Take a look at the quotes here and here. Find a quotation about service learning or community service. Paste the quote into a paragraph. Interprete the quote. Say what it means to you. Then explain how this quote represents your experience this last semester.

From one end to the other… where do you see the potential for yourself in Community Service or Service Learning and what is of interest to you?

Answer this question in a new Google Doc. Edit it and rethink your answer. When you are finished and it is edited, post it as a new discussion on your blog, and tag it, and put it into the Community Service Group.
