Aracely Valenzo-Castro Capstone

My Capstone project is based on a favorite quote of mine and how it applies to my community. This quote originated from the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”

My Capstone goal is to show how I can use Google’s free services to teach my immigrant Hispanic community to better access technology to balance their lives. I achieved this through weekly seminars with family members. My final product is a video that demonstrates the process of gathering data on the needs of my community, creating a weekly seminar, presenting it, and evaluating how it helped both them and me.

By showing others how to optimize Google’s services, I hope to reach a larger audience that wants to learn more about the power of the internet. Oftentimes we get frustrated when our family doesn’t pick up a concept that is simple to us, but we fail to understand that it wasn’t an option for them to learn. By the end of my capstone, I want the listeners to understand the value of teaching, patience, and reflection.
