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.

Pete Fuller - project

My project is called TechStop and aims to develop into a self help resource for organisations, beneficiaries and colleges covering basic technology,support and assistance. A lot of problems and queries tend to come up again and again and this project aims to provide a simple and friendly point for assistance, guides and tutorials. It also offers the facility to ask a question thats response will then be added to the archive and facilitate the development of a valuable reference point for all concerned with the projects.

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.

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.
