Computer-Savvy Middle Schoolers Tutor Seniors
It was late April, and Lydia Davis, 72, of Mt. Lebanon was trying to build a snowman. But it wasn't the spring-like weather hampering her efforts, it was her limited computer skills. "I'm clicking and nothing is happening," she told her young instructor, Lydia Herman, 12, also of Mt. Lebanon.
The two were participating in a special computer class at Mellon Middle School in the Mt. Lebanon School District. The class, held in the school's computer room, paired five senior citizens with student council members for a one-hour computer training session in which the middle school students acted as private tutors.
