Riikka Marttinen

Web based educator, LähiVerkko Project, Finland

Web service developer who loves to learn new things, play digital games and find new technology solutions for people with all ages and abilities.

My work consists two different projects. Every other week I do preventive social and educational work with children and youth by chatting and playing games in social media and web. Every other week I try to find new ways how technology and social media could help elderly people in their daily life.

I'm a occupational therapist. My experties are mobile devices and social media in education and rehabilitation. I'm convinced that people with all ages can learn, use technology and play digital games if they are educated, supported and encouraged to do so. Technology should be easy to use for everybody and modified by users needs. Games, social media apps and other software can signicantly increase happiness and social life.
