My project
is to get a group of keen residents of an ‘extra care’ residency in Prestatyn,
where I am volunteering at the moment, onto Facebook and to create a ‘Closed
Group’ page for their sole use.
My idea is
that they could use their ‘closed group’ page as a meeting area for chat,
sharing of photos/links, and to discuss their hobbies and interests. With the residents being of ‘extra care’ they
sometimes perhaps don’t feel like coming down to the public lounge area, this
page would mean they could keep in touch with their friends and up to date with
any news without it being on full view on facebook.
I will be
creating a Blog and posting information on how a ‘Closed Group’ is beneficial
and the safety of using social network sites, this information will be aimed at
the residents, but you may also find it of benefit.
(hopefully I have done this right, fingers crossed)
Nice idea Jane, and as discussed with Alex too, take a look at the links on our Google site:

which look at the differences between Google Pages, Groups and Profiles - this will be useful background reading for you before you create a group.
