Students In Los Angeles District Teaching Retirees Computer Skills

The Los Angeles Times (4/4, Rojas) reports that Daphne Bradford, a "digital media instructor at Crenshaw High School recruited nine of her students to venture once a week to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Cal State Dominguez Hills and teach all that they have learned about Mac computers to a class of half a dozen or so retirees wanting to learn the same. ... The class came about as a way for the institute to put to good use its lab of Apple desktops that still glimmer with that new computer sheen." The class "also fulfills a goal of Bradford's to start a program that would bridge the older generation with a younger one - an ambition that stemmed from an encounter with civil rights activist Rosa Parks before she died."
