Day 6 Internet gaps

Steve Robinson - Workshop idea

My workshop is a quick introduction to staying safe online.

Workshop will be targeted at new computer/web users

Session to last approx 1 hour

This will look at online threats such as email scams and phishing and how to identify possible threats.

Equipment required, preferably a computer per student, but could get away with just one and a projector.

Outcomes are to make new computer users aware of common scams and how to identify them.

This would be delivered in a computer suite with a projector showing examples on the screen and advising people of the potential threats online.

Steve Robinson - Project

My project is an introduction to Facebook taster session

I plant to introduce it to a class using a projector whilst they can follow the instructions at the same time on a computer.

I plan to create some screen casts to demonstrate how to set up the page and how to use it, these can then be uploaded to a blog to be shared with the class after the session has ended, the blog can also be used to share ideas and as a source of reference.

Link to follow.

First Task Deadline 27th March - Steve Robinson

Here is my brainstorm of what will be covered in my introduction Facebook course that I can deliver to beneficiaries in Wrexham and Flintshire to enable them to get started with using Facebook.

If demand was there this could also be extended to provide an introduction to Twitter.

Ideally I would deliver this using a projector and screen so that everyone can see exactly what I am doing as I go along and follow on their laptops or tablets.

Session from Steve

My idea of a session I can run with beneficiaries is "An introduction to Facebook & Twitter"

Equipment required: Internet connection, PC, Laptop, or Tablet per student. Projector and screen.

The session would give benificiaries an overview of Facebook and Twitter, show them how to sign up and use basic functions, and a knowledge of security and safety when using the sites.

The learning outcomes would be that they would leave, having signed up with a Facebook and Twitter and account and an ability to use both websites.
