Internet Buttons / History Pin / Teach your Granny to text

[CeliaW]

This tool may be useful for those struggling with a computer or who are losing the ability to find their way to relevant sites or programmes. I think its a brilliant idea (as are many of the projects from "We are what we do" URL="http://wearewhatwedo.org/http://"]http://wearewhatwedo.org/http://[/URL] )

Hope its helpful

History Pin is another of their projects that may be useful when spending time chatting with someone with dementia - the information is very varied.

There are several others (see Portfolio at bottom of main page) but probably the main other one to mention - does what it says on the tin! "Teach your Granny to Text"

Thank You Celia

Many thanks for sharing this with us Celia its all very useful & my favorite is the History Pin as it would be good to use at Home , at a Day Club or C H especially with Activity Staff


Am going to mention to J Boss of my local support group as she is all ways on the look out for new projects etc . Once a week the Group runs a Social afternoon for Carer 's & the Cared for so might be able to run the History Pin then ( there are lots of activities to do in the afternoon )


Thank you once again for sharing
