Facebook for Grandparents

If you didn't grow up with a computer and the Internet, Facebook can be…

​

  • Confusing?

  • A little scary?

  • Too hard to get started?

  • Not for me?

 

​Once you finish our Facebook for Grandparents Workshop, Facebook will be...

​

  • A great way to keep in frequent touch with your children and grandchildren!

  • An on demand source of community!

  • A good source of news that's tailored to your individual taste!

  • A way to play Scrabble, Chess, and other games with your friends in far away places!

  • Really fun!

 

The Facebook for Grandparents Workshop typical experience:

​

  • We'll start with a chat about your familiarity with computers and the Internet, your interests and concerns, and your current means of communication with your children, grand children and distant friends and relatives.

  • We'll sit down at your computer, in your home and get familiar with a web browser.

  • We'll walk through and talk about setting up your own private Facebook page.

  • We'll find "content," and I'll show you how to find more, that is tailored to your interests and ability.

  • We'll talk about getting comfortable and familiar with how Facebook works

  • We'll get you familiar with the basic "rules of the road" for making a smooth entry into the world of Facebook communications.

 

In our ninety minute private session in your home, I'll show you, coach you, and watch you as you learn how to...
