Learn for yourself
Short, practical lessons for everyday technology, with clear explanations, chances to practice and guides you can return to at your own pace.
Everyday Tech Discoveries by Tech Empowerment Initiative
A little guidance.
Wherever you call home.
We believe useful technology guidance should be within reach, even when we can’t be there in person. Everyday Tech Discoveries is how we’re working to make that possible.
Our online learning paths and teaching resources are in development. They are not yet open for enrollment or purchase, and we haven’t announced a launch date. Local visits and community sessions are available now.

The vision
More people reached.
The same human approach.
Everyday Tech Discoveries is the home for TEI’s learning paths: practical lessons that build on one another, with time to try, revisit and use what you learn.
We’re creating content for adults learning at home, families helping someone they love, and organizations bringing people together. Our goal is for patient guidance to reach people beyond the places we can visit.
Success means being able to do something useful in everyday life—and knowing where to turn when you need a reminder.
Learning paths we’re developing
Different places to learn.
A shared sense of possibility.
Help someone you love
Guidance for learning together while respecting your family member’s choices, privacy and independence.
Teach in your community
Coordinated instructor guides, shared slides and participant references to help a prepared facilitator lead a useful session without TEI in the room.
What we’re designing around
Learn one useful thing.
Practice it.
Keep it.
A learning path should help you build confidence step by step. You should be able to return to a lesson when you need it.
A goal that matters in daily life.
Topics we’re planning include making your phone more comfortable to use, staying connected, sharing photos and making thoughtful choices online.
Guidance you can put into practice.
Clear explanations, useful demonstrations and opportunities to try the skill yourself, with relevant device differences explained.
Something useful to return to.
Readable references and recovery guidance for the moments when you forget a step or your screen looks different.
Built with care
Reaching farther starts
with getting the details right.
Before a lesson is released, our standard is to check its instructions, review its readability and make sure its practice activities and take-home guidance work together. Device-specific lessons also need testing on real devices.
We’ll make clear what each released path includes and who it is for. Today, this page shares the direction we’re working toward.
