Groups

Hi, my name is Vikki Vaughan, and today we'll discuss a really fun part of Facebook; connecting with others through groups. Groups are a part of Facebook that allows us to communicate about shared interest with other people. In this workshop, we'll explore how to join or leave an existing group.

This series is designed for people with low vision. If you use a screen reader, be sure to check out Hadley's screen reading version of this series.

You know, we can create a group for anything: Our family reunion, our book club or our favorite hobby, but we don't have to create a group to enjoy this part of Facebook. There are loads of fun groups that would love to have us as members. Let's start off by joining an existing group. Hadley has many wonderful discussion groups, and one of my favorites is Tech It Out. We'll search Facebook groups and see if this great discussion group has its own page.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your name, email address, 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're 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 experts like me. Now, where were we?
