HSBC Computer Technology Center at Cabrini Connections
Our eLearning Goals

Students will learn to use the Internet as a social network. They already know how to find ideas on the Internet, but they should also know how to find people who will help them implement those ideas and solve problems in their personal and professional lives.

Students and volunteers will use the Internet to stay in touch with each other, and with Cabrini Connections, even after they have left the program.

Students, volunteers and staff will use online learning and collaboration tools to connect with people in similar roles at other programs and to grow as leaders.

Why is encouraging technology and Internet use important?

Building Student Skills

• Being able to effectively use technology is an essential skill in today's society. Most of our students do not have the same access to technology that many Americans have, and this puts them at a disadvantage.
• We must find ways to build habits of technology use now so that our students will continue to value and use technology for the rest of their lives.

Finding New Learning Opportunities

• New technologies have transformed the internet into a place of communication and collaboration.
• Encouraging students, volunteers and staff to use these new technologies will allow them to reach out into new networks and find new opportunities. By learning and enriching themselves they will also enrich Cabrini Connections.
• Learning through others is a more effective strategy for innovation than trying to learn from our own experience alone.
