Friends

Hi, my name is Vikki Vaughan, and today we'll discuss one of the main uses of Facebook, connecting with friends. When we friend someone on Facebook, we have access to each other's activities and we share ideas. We do this through our newsfeed, stories, photos, and videos.

In today's workshop, we'll learn how to search for and add a friend, accept a friend's request, and learn how to control who can friend us. We'll also talk about what it means to follow celebrities, groups, and businesses that we're interested in.

This series is intended for people with low vision. If you use a screen reader, be sure to check out Hadley's screen reading version of this series. We've already logged into our account and find ourselves on our home page. Let's start out with searching for friends.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your email address, name, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we are just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free-of-charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to the Hadley team. So now is your chance to sign up and join us.
