First Task (Task 1) - 27 March 2013 - Face Book Closed Group

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) 

First task - Alex Fairclough, idea 2

My second project idea is a blog dedicated to teaching people how to play basic musical instruments. It is a collation of useful sites, blogs, forums, videos and tutorials.
I taught myself to play guitar and banjo using Internet forums but found I had to research and constantly go back and forth between sites so I felt by embedding useful media within this blog would make it easier to get around.

My project idea is to create a group page on Facebook which is a help page for users. Beneficiaries will learn how to sign up and use a Facebook account within their training, and will add the help page as a group. This help page will be used by all project beneficiaries and therefore when people post problems they encounter with their digital technology, there will be a wealth of knowledge shared. Not only will this encourage interaction and improve self confidence, but it will also reinforce the learning from the training session. 

First task deadline 27 March - Mel Salisbury

Get online Wrexham Flintshire is offering a workshop during Adult Learners Week (w/c 20 May) that inspires people to share their IT skills with a digitally excluded person.  This is a workshop that other Communities 2.0 teams may wish to deliver. I intend to create a Wiki that acts as a facilitator's guide, and doubles as a reference for workshop beneficiaries, collating useful links, media and resources.

Here's my (rather rudimentary) mind map, the shade to the light of your very impressive contributions!

Here are my first thoughts for an advertisement I wanted to do for G2G. It's not aimed directly at the end user, but rather at people who might signpost end users to us. At least that's the idea.
