Event Schedule & Classes
- 9:45 AM: Welcome Coffee & Donuts
- 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM: Virtual Museum Tours
Did you know many of the world’s leading museums have made their collections and exhibits available to view virtually? In this lecture, we’ll explore some of these online galleries, as well as digital tools that help bring art, architecture, and history to life. - 11:00 AM – 11:10 AM: Short Break
- 11:10 AM – 12:15 PM: Google Maps
Visit sites around the world from your living room, get a bird’s-eye view of your childhood neighborhood, or simply find directions to a friend’s house. We will cover satellite imagery, street-view perspectives, and how to plan routes by car, foot, bicycle, or public transit. You’ll get a full introduction to the platform and a live demonstration of how to use it. - 12:15 PM: Light Lunch & Networking
Volunteer & Additional Resources
- Become a Volunteer Senior Planet Trainer: If you are comfortable using your laptop, smartphone and the internet and enjoy helping others, email TechSkills@rsvpdane.org to learn about volunteering! It’s a fun and rewarding way to give back to your community. We’ve had requests to hold classes in Sun Prairie, Cottage Grove and McFarland but we need volunteer Trainers to do it.
