Social Media Class

Now more than ever, people are communicating on the Internet. There are several popular social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, and other ways to be social while accomplishing tasks, like the photo sharing site Flickr. But some people may be left out because they're not very computer literate, social media is intimidating to them, or they're just not sure where to begin. That's where your group comes in. If any members of your organization are computer savvy, hold a social media class fundraiser that helps students get started with social media. If you like, you can aim the class at a particular group, like seniors, and gear the class toward helping them understand how social media can help them keep in touch with the grandkids, and the rest of the family. Show the students how to set up and manage their profiles, how to share photos, and maybe even play games. Cover just a couple of sites in the initial class, and if it's a success and there's enough interest, follow up with another class that includes more sites, and more in-depth information.
