OkieNerd comes to your senior center, library, church or community room and teaches a class in plain English. It costs nothing for the host or for the folks who come. If your program could use one, this page is how to ask.
Free to host, free to attend. We bring the handouts; you provide the room.
Bring whatever you've got.
About an hour, in a room of any size. OkieNerd teaches it. Folks bring their own phone, tablet or laptop if they have one, and the questions are as much the class as the outline is.
Nobody gets rushed or talked down to. We stay after for anyone who wants a minute one-on-one, and everyone leaves with a printed handout of what was covered and a little OkieNerd swag to take home.
One email. Whoever runs the programs at a place people already trust writes to us, or a Local Nerd who lives in town passes along the name of a place that might like one, and the program picks the class their folks need most.
Device basics, safe browsing, video calling and getting around apps. Friendly and never intimidating.
Passwords, scams, privacy basics and protecting yourself online.
Organizing files, email, devices and digital life to cut the stress. Cleanup skills and better habits.
Using a voice assistant for lighting, routines and reminders, and a calmer house.
Pick one, or ask for the set as a series. If your folks keep asking about something else, say so and we'll build the class around it.
Any place with a room, a date and a way to tell people. Senior centers, public libraries, community centers, churches, civic clubs, county health and wellness centers, tribal elder programs, and senior-living, assisted-living and nursing communities.
For a senior-living community we work with the activities director on the date and the room. Residents bring their own devices, and family members are welcome to sit in.
Nothing. The class is free to the host and free to everyone who comes. OkieNerd covers the time and prints the handouts. There's no fee for the room, no minimum head count, and nothing to sign.
Nobody is sold anything in the room. The handout says how to reach us, and that's all.
Already know a Local Nerd? Tell them your place would like a class, and they'll pass it along to us.
A class is the easiest way to help a whole room at once. It's also how a town gets to know OkieNerd. Some of the folks in the room may call us someday.
Local Nerds live and work across Oklahoma. The map shows where.
Yes. It's free to the host and to everyone who attends. OkieNerd covers the time and the printed handouts. There's no catch and nothing to sign.
OkieNerd does. The Local Nerds who make house calls in your town don't host or teach the classes themselves, so if one mentions the program to you, the class still comes from us.
Whatever your room holds. Ten is a good class and forty is fine. For a large group we allow more time for the questions afterward.
Their own phone, tablet or laptop if they have one, and their questions. Nobody needs to bring anything to follow along.
About an hour, with time after for individual questions. We fit your schedule, whether that's a lunch program, an afternoon slot or an evening.
Yes. The four classes were written as a track, and a monthly or weekly series works well. One at a time is fine too.
No. Nobody in the room gets a pitch or gets signed up for anything. The handout says how to reach us, and that's all.
Yes. We work with your activities director on the date and the room, residents bring their own devices, and family members are welcome to sit in.
Anywhere in Oklahoma we can get to. The coverage page on this site shows the towns we serve. If yours isn't on it yet, ask anyway.
Usually. Tell us what your folks keep asking about and we'll put a class together around it.
Yes. A Rotary or Lions club, a church seniors group, a library friends group, an employer lunch-and-learn. Same class, still free.
Anyone who wants one-on-one help at home can book a visit the ordinary way, at the ordinary price. The class is separate and nobody is obligated to.
One email is all it takes. Tell us the place and we'll do the rest.
