Week 1 ~ April 3 ~ Create a Gmail account

In this session, you'll learn how to set up your Gmail account and how to access your email from any computer.

These days, you need an email account. It’s simply the way the world communicates. Whether you’re trying to find out information, looking for services, or keeping in touch with family, you need email. There are several free web-based email services. Gmail offers great service and will better prepare you for all your online communication, so we start our series with Gmail.

Week 2 ~ April 10 ~ How to set up and use your Facebook page

In this session, you'll learn how to set up your Facebook account.

Facebook is a great way to find old friends and meet new ones. It’s fun to see what everyone’s doing and let them know what’s up with you. You’ll be able to keep up with family when they update their Facebook or add photos. You can also join Facebook groups that share similar interests, or click “like” on a Facebook fan page to show your support for your favorite church or book or cause.

Some people like Twitter more than Facebook; some like Facebook better. You should try it out and see what’s the best fit for you. You like both? No worries. You can sync your Twitter account with your Facebook page so both are updated at the same time.

Week 3 ~ April 17 ~ How to set up and use your Twitter account

In this session, you'll learn how to set up your Twitter account.

Thanks to Twitter you can share short updates about your life and follow the updates of people, topics and organizations that matter to you. Twitter may seem silly at first. But within the circle of “tweeters” you’ll create, people will be talking about what matters to you. So, whether it’s dachshunds or democrats, football or fundraisers, you’ll be talking about what you care about. You can access Twitter from the web or from your smart phone with text messaging. It’s free, it’s fun, and there is a whole world just waiting to hear from you.

Week 4 ~ April 24 ~ Start a blog

In this session, you'll learn how to subscribe to blogs and how to set up your own WordPress blog.

You have something to say, and blogs provide a place to say it and be heard. Maybe you’d like to blog about a personal interest or hobby. Maybe you’d like to influence political change. Truth is, the path to blogging success is to simply blog for you. Write about what makes you happy and the challenges you face every day. The rest will take care of itself. We'll get you started on the free blogging platform WordPress.
