Google will be holding an interactive seniors workshop at ACCAN and Telstra's upcoming M-Enabling Australasia 2013 conference, being held on 14-15 August in Sydney. This is the perfect opportunity for seniors of all technical abilities to ask Google volunteers some questions and learn plenty of valuable new skills.

When and where?
Thursday 15 August 2013 (day 2 of the conference) from 11:15am-12:15pm, Australian Technology Park, Sydney.

What will I learn?
The "Getting online with Google" workshop will focus on how to get started on the web, best practice for accessibility and security on the web, and how to get the most out of Google Search, Maps, email, and Hangouts. You'll also have the opportunity to ask Google volunteers personal questions about different things that you'd like help with on the web.
