‘Facebook for Mentors’ is a short course for people with basic Facebook skills who mentor or coach older people in using the features of new technology. It aims develop the understanding and skills to enable mentors to better assist older people beginning to use Facebook and will have a particular focus on learning how to use Facebook safely.
The first of two funded Facebook for Mentors courses is now almost complete– we began with a registration and pre-course session in the U3A meeting room and have just completed the envisaged two session course with GOTAFE trainer Christine Nicholas. We are planning to meet again for a post course follow up session in which we will translate what we have learnt into practice in supporting others to use Facebook.
Another course has been scheduled for in late October/November—applicants will be contacted soon with further details. Places are still available – contact Bev for an application form 5762 8171 or [email protected]
