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 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.

First Task Deadline 27th March - Lon Vaughan

My project involves creating screen casts to provide an introduction to Facebook for beginners.

It will follow 5 subheadings -

1. Sign up and security
2. Searching for friends
3. Different aspects of Facebook
4. Uploading photos and videos
5. Sharing links

These screen casts are aimed at an user who wishes to use Facebook for private use but could be expanded to include the possibilities for small companies or local groups.
