Course Overview
Journey into the world of social media with our Introduction to Social Media!
We will walk you through the internet’s most popular social media applications. You will have heard about Facebook, Skype, Twitter and Flickr, but might not be sure about what they do or how to get set up to use them. We will also demonstrate how they work, so you can decide if you want to create your own accounts.
By the end, you will have the knowledge and confidence to decide whether to create your own accounts and join the ever-expanding social media landscape.
Join us and learn to step into the digital realm to connect with others!
