As a 50-year-old college student, I needed to adapt to new technology.
I had to become proficient in PowerPoint, Excel, Blackboard, and the various online tools required for communicating with professors and other students. I initially felt like a fish out of water, especially since most of today's college students were raised on technology and find it so much easier to navigate.
I found there was an extra layer of difficulty as someone accustomed to working on Macs, not PCs: In one class, when the professor was speeding through statistical data entry, I was compelled to ask the nearest student, "What the heck is a right-click?"
On the positive side, once I mustered the nerve to ask for help, help was always there (after some good-natured kidding) when I needed it from other students. It may take me a bit longer to put together a polished PowerPoint, but now I can do it.
