Seniors Tech Services hosts workshops on different technology topics for seniors every week. If you are planning a workshop for seniors, here are some tips for you.

• The presenter should research thoroughly on the topic to be discussed. Seniors are curious and have lots of questions too!
• The slides should be creative, interactive but simple. The slides should deliver the message accurately and make it easy to follow.
• Use different types of format: Charts, graphs, pictures, video and audio add to the visual appeal and keep the seniors engaged.
• The presenter should talk to the participants regularly and ask questions. Try to make it interactive. This develops an interest in your audience.
• Always keep the content short and precise.
• Use very large fonts and pictures, eliminate text only slides completely if possible.

If you are looking for professional webinars for your group of seniors on Zoom please feel free to contact us. You can view the list of topics we offer here.

We hosted our second webinar in FRENCH yesterday on Zoom! It was about Internet Safety and current Covid 19 scams. We are grateful for the opportunity to help seniors across Canada in both English and French during this challenging time.

Our professional, patient staff can also provide computer training and tech support in Farsi, Hebrew, and Russian, and we hope to add Mandarin and Hindi soon.

​Thank you for your support. 

Do you have any old laptop or tablet lying around that you don’t use anymore or need? You can help a low income family or senior, right here in Toronto. 
 
Seniors Tech Services is collecting used laptops and tablets for low income families and isolated seniors who cannot afford to buy their own devices.  They are donated to reputable charitable organisations who serve poor families and seniors. You will receive a letter of acknowledgement and in some cases a tax receipt from the organisation, depending on the condition of the device.  We also donate devices directly to individuals.
 
Your laptop or tablet can help children from these families with online lessons, and seniors to stay connected with family and friends and attend virtual activities from seniors centres.
 
We will wipe all your data from the device and thoroughly clean and sanitise them before making arrangements for the donation.

Please let us know if you would like to participate in this program and we will contact you to arrange a safe, socially distanced pickup.

To participate in this program, please send an email to info@seniorstechservices.ca​

It's that time of the year again, lots of shopping for gifts!

Online shopping is easy, convenient and you can get great deals. In today's world, shipping charges are lower and delivery is fast.  Best of all, you don't even have to leave home, or your couch. 

Shop Safely Online

However, you do need to be careful online. Online shopping scams can be costly and lead to huge losses. Here are a few tips to help you shop safely online:

• Only shop at reputable online merchants that you trust.
• When shopping or banking look for secure websites, https instead of http, look for a lock on the left side of the hyperlink.
• Don’t click on links in email or on social media unless you’re 100% certain they are legitimate, even if it looks like a really great deal. 
• Monitor your online financial accounts, bank account and credit cards.
• Think before you click, certain transactions cannot be reversed.
• Be wary of deals that are too good to be true.
• Set up strong passwords for your online shopping accounts. 
• Review your order carefully for correct address before paying.
• Make sure you sign out of the website when you have finished shopping.
• Do some research before donating to online causes.

We hope that you will have an enjoyable experience shopping online this year for that special gift for your loved ones.

During the Covid 19 pandemic, we have been offering lessons remotely using Zoom or TeamViewer. We are pleased to announce that we will  continue to offer these lessons. Many clients across Canada and USA have found it easy, convenient and safe to get the support they need by telephone, online and remote assistance.

Our offices at Suite 300, 25 Sheppard Avenue West were open for a limited number of private lessons  in the office with a personal tutor during the summer and fall. 

Following recommendations from the Health authorities in November, we will not be offering computer lessons to individuals, one on one or in home lessons during the lockdown period.  After the lockdown we hope to resume in home computer lessons and open our offices again. 

Health Precautions after lockdown:

The building management has taken extensive precautions to sanitise the building and placed markers for human traffic in and out. Regular disinfecting will be carried out during the day and social distancing protocols for all areas, including elevators, entrance, and exits.

Inside our office, there will be very limited number of people and each client will be in an enclosed office. The tutor will also wear a mask, face shield, gloves. All clients must wear a mask at all times during your visit.

Tutors will only see one client per day and their office will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitised after each client.

In home lessons
When the health authorities lift lockdown restrictions, we will start again, to have a limited number of in home computer training sessions.  If there is a time sensitive or urgent need and Zoom or remote tech support is not an option, we can visit, but only in extreme circumstances. Our tutors will wear masks and face shields and gloves at all times and we also ask that clients wear masks.

We are taking extreme measures to make sure we can deliver in-person lessons in future in a safe and healthy environment.
