TILT Center Host Inaugural Digital Learning Day for Maturals
Cyber Seniors participated in break-out sessions to learn about Facebook, Twitter, iPad Basics, Navigating the Computer/Internet, and Digital Video Editing. Team TILT and 6 NOVA Alexandria Student Volunteers made sure that each participant received personal support while learning the 21st Century technology tools of their choice.
Lew Carr, one of Maturals stated, “Both Joan (the self-described “Techno-saur”) and I so much appreciated the Digital Learning Day for Maturals this past Friday. The (TILT) staff along with volunteers did a wonderful job.”
Kirstin Riddick, TILT Coordinator stated, “The Maturals Digital Learning Day was an amazing multi-generational afternoon of fellowship, fun, and learning.”
The TILT team will continue to conduct Digital Learning Days as a way to collaborate with our Maturals to bridge the digital divide. TEAM TILT would like to thank the Maturals, NOVA Student Volunteers and all involved for making the inaugural Digital Learning Day a success.
On May 1, the Technology Innovation in Learning and Teaching (TILT) formerly Instructional Support and Development, a division of the Learning and Technology Resources (LTR) Division hosted its first Digital Learning Day for the Maturals, our lifelong-learning senior citizens.

Trip to James Madison University and Shenandoah University
The transfer visit to JMU and SU took place on April 17th. Students arrived at 6:15 AM, signed in, filled out the Assumption of Risk, Off campus Code of Conduct and Medical release forms (and the JMU contact card). We left campus at 6:40 with 24 students. There were two late cancellations via email, one student over slept and one no show. We arrived at JMU at 9:15 AM for a campus tour and transfer presentation. The tour and presentation were great. We were split into three groups and toured campus. One group even went to the bookstore and loaded up on JMU gear. Connie and I were very impresses with the campus and the tour. We departed JMU at 11:45 after the transfer presentation and arrived at SU at 12:45.
When we arrived at SU we had lunch in the student dining hall. The food was great and we split into five tables with SU staff at each table to answer questions. We then had a presentation and a tour. The students were split into three groups based on their major and toured campus. Very nice campus and tour guides. We departed SU at 3:15 and arrived on campus at 5 PM. The day was fantastic and students are already asking about a fall trip. Connie and I are working on a trip for the fall to another section of Virginia. Also, I’ve already had a student come in to see me today to discuss transfer to SU.

Cinco de Mayo Helping Hands Fundraiser | Tuesday, 5 May 2015
Cinco de Mayo is a celebration held on 5 May. It is celebrated in the United States and in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla, where the holiday is called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla.
Mexican-Americans also often see the day as a source of pride; one way they can honor their ethnicity is to celebrate this day.
