Using Facebook

Summary: This workbook supports a 3 hour session teaching adult students to use the popular social media platform Facebook; also includes a lesson plan which provides an outline for practitioners to teach adult learners these skills. Topics include an explanation of what Facebook is, how it works, basic features, and basic tasks (like how to find and add friends, send messages or post content on your wall). Please note: The look and navigation of Facebook change frequently. This lesson plan may not apply to the most recent changes, but the functions and tasks will still apply. This is part of a series of field-tested workshops developed by CBAL. Students need basic skills before participating, such as knowing the basic parts of a computer (the screen, keyboard and mouse) and how to use a mouse (double click, right-click).
