Local Tech Educators Look Forward to Restoring Larger Classes for Seniors, December 17, 2010, NewarkPatch - Ohlone College professors and students juggle budget cuts and shrinking classroom space to help Newark seniors understand and use online technologies and gadgets. Ohlone College professors and students say they are looking forward to offering larger computer classes for senior citizens when city officials re-open the Newark Senior Center in 2011. The senior center closed last January due to city budget woes, but in the meantime, professors and staff members have been offering affordable technology-based classes at the Silliman Activity Center. Ohlone College started its partnership with the Newark Senior Center in February 2009, to help meet a need for technological education for seniors, said Rick Arellano, an Ohlone College professor who teaches Computer Applications and Occupational Technology, or CAOT.
