january - april 2020 issue seniors 2 seniors: bridging the ...the seniors 2 seniors technology...

1Education Council | pottercountyedcouncil.org | January – April 2020 Newsletter

The Potter County Education Council, Tri-Co Connections,

the Potter County Human Services Area Agency on Aging,

the Seneca Highlands CTC and our local school districts are

continuing to team up to implement a county-wide program

called Seniors 2 Seniors throughout the 2019-2020 academic

year. This program is teaching basic computer skills, digital

literacy and cybersecurity to senior citizens so that they have

the knowledge to utilize the many benefits of high-speed

Internet which include:

• Staying connected to friends and family

• Utilizing telemedicine (healthcare from home)

• Accessing numerous government on-line tools

• Using on-line banking

• Working from home for a company

• Shopping from home (for items not available in the

local area)

• Improving eye-hand coordination through (strategy-

based) video games

As a part of this program, the Potter County Education

Council, Tri-Co Connections and the Area Agency on Aging

have local high school students volunteering to provide on-site

support to each of the adults who participates in the course.

The area high school students are a logical resource to support

the senior citizens as they learn about the Internet since this

generation of students has grown up with technology as a part

of their daily lives. They are a true “tech savvy” population and

can provide valuable support to older adults who are learning

to navigate and use new technological skills and information.

This very important and timely project which will provide a

valuable lifelong learning opportunity to many of our older

county residents while also allowing area high school students

an opportunity to give back to their local communities. This

course will provide our older county residents the opportunity

to learn, and in some cases, further their technology skills while

also providing our senior high school students the opportunity

to make a difference in the lives of others and connect with a

more experienced generation of Potter County residents. It’s

an opportunity for both age groups to learn about the other, to

debunk generational stereotypes and connect on a personal

level.

The Seniors 2 Seniors technology course is being offered at

each of the four senior centers in Potter County on an eight-

week rotating schedule, meeting on Wednesdays from 12:45 –

1:45 PM (following the school districts’ calendars), throughout

the 2019-2020 school year. The first rotation of the Seniors 2

Seniors course recently concluded at the Shinglehouse Senior

Center and the second rotation starts on December 4th at

the Coudersport Senior Center and will run on Wednesdays

through February 5th. The course will also run at the Ulysses

Senior Center (February 12th – April 1st) and then at the

Galeton Senior Center (April 8th – May 27th).

You can register yourself or a parent or grandparent by

calling the Potter County Education Council at (814) 274-

4877, registering on the Potter County Education Council’s

website at www.pottercountyedcouncil.org or stopping by the

Potter County Education Council’s Coudersport Office at 5

Water Street to register in person.

The Seniors 2 Seniors technology course and high-speed

internet from Tri-Co Connections will allow our senior citizens

to better connect to the world!

Career Mentor

Motivational Speaker Addresses Area School Students Motivational speaker Jeremy Anderson from Atlanta,

GA, came to the Consistory in Coudersport, PA on

Monday, November 4th and shared his story and his

message. He is a leading educational expert, author,

and one of the premier motivational speakers in the

educational arena. Years ago, Jeremy experienced

many challenges such as drug and alcohol abuse,

repeated failure in school, a diagnosis of ADHD, and the

absence of his biological father. Fortunately, Jeremy’s

story didn’t end there. During his third attempt at the 9th

grade, Jeremy came across a group of teachers who

refused to give up on him. He eventually caught up with

his right grade, received his high school diploma, and

obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Today, Jeremy is the published author of six books,

and has been privileged to travel across the globe with

his motivational speaking and training. Jeremy is the

CEO of The Jeremy Anderson Group, LLC., which is

an Educational Consulting Firm. His wife Traci is the

president of their non-profit Next Level Living, Inc.

Jeremy, his wife Traci and their two children Jaxon and

Jewel, live happily in Atlanta, Gorgia.

Students in grades 5-12 attended from five school

districts (Austin, Coudersport, Galeton, Northern Potter,

and Port Allegany) and heard Jeremy share information

about his struggles in school (both academically and

behaviorally), and his determination to overcome all

the obstacles. He strongly and passionately reminded

students that each and every one of them is destined

for greatness if they’re willing to put in the work. He

shared his message that “Hard work pays off!” Their

struggles and their DNA don’t determine their destiny;

their decisions do. He also reminded students that

words are powerful, and he challenged each of them to

use their words and actions to be supportive of others

and to give back to their peers, their families and their

communities. Jeremy’s presentations were amazing and

resonated with area students.

This event was sponsored by Potter County Human

Services and the Potter County Education Council.
