Events › Computer Basics: Social Media at Barrett Community Center

Welcome to the world of social media! Our introductory class, "Social Media Basics: Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram," is your gateway to understanding and navigating these popular platforms.

Start by exploring Facebook, where you'll learn to create a profile, connect with friends and family, and share posts and photos. Discover privacy settings to control who sees your content and how to interact with others through comments, likes, and shares.

Move on to X (formerly Twitter) and Threads and uncover the art of microblogging. Learn how to follow users and send messages to the world. Explore hashtags, retweets, and mentions to engage with a global community.

Instagram is all about visual storytelling. Discover how to set up an Instagram account, share photos and videos, and use filters and captions to enhance your posts. Explore hashtags and Instagram Stories and Reels for creative expression and connection.

We'll also touch on best practices for online etiquette, privacy, and safety on these platforms. Learn how to manage your social media presence while respecting your own and others' digital boundaries.

Whether you're connecting with friends, staying informed, or exploring your creative side, these social media platforms will become your digital playgrounds. Join us to embark on your social media journey!

The class is limited to the first 10 students.
