1
00:00:01,685 --> 00:00:03,257
Good morning! Good morning.
2
00:00:03,257 --> 00:00:05,464
We're here to teach you
a little bit about technology
3
00:00:05,464 --> 00:00:07,146
to see what you could do on it.
4
00:00:07,167 --> 00:00:08,772
My name is Isabelle Evren
5
00:00:08,772 --> 00:00:11,607
and I'm a Health and
Social Level 3 Student.
6
00:00:11,607 --> 00:00:14,714
My name's Tyne, I'm studying
at Pontypool College.
7
00:00:14,714 --> 00:00:16,968
Elderly people can find themselves at home
8
00:00:16,968 --> 00:00:19,474
all day on their own sometimes.
9
00:00:19,513 --> 00:00:22,289
Teaching them something
little as how to use a tablet,
10
00:00:22,289 --> 00:00:24,043
how to get a video app or use an app
11
00:00:24,043 --> 00:00:26,069
can really make a big impact on their day.
12
00:00:26,807 --> 00:00:30,190
I've learned quite a lot from the carers today,
13
00:00:30,190 --> 00:00:32,329
being the youngsters and all that.
14
00:00:32,632 --> 00:00:35,028
With the different things, the tablet,
15
00:00:35,028 --> 00:00:37,834
I can teach them all things
that happened years ago,
16
00:00:38,072 --> 00:00:40,656
but they're teaching me
what's happening now.
17
00:00:41,122 --> 00:00:44,454
A couple weeks ago we had
two professionals come in.
18
00:00:44,454 --> 00:00:46,215
Thank you for inviting us here today.
19
00:00:46,215 --> 00:00:49,470
And talk to us about being a digital hero.
20
00:00:49,782 --> 00:00:52,129
They come in, demonstrated
to us different types
21
00:00:52,129 --> 00:00:54,541
of apps and accessibility ways
22
00:00:54,541 --> 00:00:57,156
that we can show older adults in care
23
00:00:57,156 --> 00:00:59,599
how to use it more beneficially.
24
00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:01,584
The course they deliver was really helpful.
25
00:01:01,584 --> 00:01:02,976
It's helped us expand our own knowledge
26
00:01:02,976 --> 00:01:05,093
and skills when out on placement.
27
00:01:05,286 --> 00:01:07,972
I think it's really important for people
28
00:01:07,972 --> 00:01:10,111
to take up studying in social care.
29
00:01:10,262 --> 00:01:14,397
Obviously, it's a career that's
always going to be there
30
00:01:14,397 --> 00:01:19,316
and there's such a variety of
roles within the care sector.
31
00:01:20,135 --> 00:01:21,872
I enjoy being able to see them happy.
32
00:01:22,169 --> 00:01:24,339
It was nice to see how
content they were with it
33
00:01:24,339 --> 00:01:25,870
and how much they enjoyed it.
34
00:01:25,870 --> 00:01:28,086
Just seeing their reactions
really makes my day.
