Presentation

Bridging the Digital Divide – Teaching Internet Safety to the 65+ Community

This talk will explore how to effectively teach internet safety to the 65+ community, focusing on two key areas:

1. The Four Core Habits for Staying Safe Online

• Using MFA, creating strong passwords, updating software, and identifying phishing—simple yet essential steps for online security.

2. Special Considerations When Teaching This Population

• Seniors have unique learning needs. We’ll cover strategies like simplifying language, using visual aids, reinforcing lessons through repetition, and making cybersecurity relevant to their daily activities.

We’ll also discuss how technical professionals can adjust their approach to communicate effectively with non-technical audiences. The goal is to empower seniors with confidence online while ensuring their safety.

The session will wrap up with ways IEEE members can contribute to digital safety education for older adults.
