Description: Facebook is a social networking website.
Material Covered: What is Facebook; creating a Facebook page; setting up privacy settings, finding friends; creating photos and adding photos.
What I learned: I already had a Facebook account which I do not use very often. I was really quite concerned about the privacy issues for Facebook. I learned how and what setting to use to ensure that my Facebook site has the maximum privacy settings. After setting up the Facebook account for the school project and seeing that there are many ways to keep it private I was able to adjust my privacy settings. This is very reassuring.
Best Features: Being able to chat with my niece. I had never noticed the Chat box in the corner of the page before taking the course. Now several times I have seen the message from my niece and have been able to chat with her online. This method of communicating with teenagers works quite well.
Problems/Limitations: Privacy issues even with the improved Privacy settings as there are ways to get around those settings. Once something is on the Web it is out there forever. For socializing I still prefer to talk to my friends on the phone or visit them in person.
