Fun on social media (safely!) with Amanda Kendle

For Safer Internet Day

The world of social media is exciting, fun, and sometimes daunting. This talk will cover the ins and outs of the two most popular platforms, Facebook and Instagram. Why use them? How can you make use of all their best features? And, because there are cons of everything, how can you make sure you use them safely? Amanda will give demonstrations of features you might not have tried yet, and give you tips to get the best of these platforms without getting into hot water.
