Teenagers - Social Schooling

Teenagers Workshop

“Nothing you put online, even for a second, can ever be taken down. Drink that in and know it” ~ @shanselman. Even children can be sued or face jail time for some online acts. Be aware.

Digital Parenting

Parents Workshop

The scariest statement a parent can make is: “I don’t know how it works but my children can show me later.” Do you know what they are up to and that PAW is not your pet’s foot anymore?

Want to make sure your child is being protected? That they aren’t doing lasting damage to their reputation with their online antics? Just how safe is it to share pictures of your child online? We have a course tailored specifically for parents who care.

This course is designed specifically to assist parents raising children in the digital age. It’s difficult enough to contend with the things we already know about but what about all the new age techno mumbo jumbo? It’s really not that difficult to wrap your head around. We’ll put you firmly in the know without making your head spin.

Whatever your path, you’re bound to either already be using some form of social media or will be soon enough. Take out a day of your life to learn how it can impact on your future before you start posting all those debaucherous drunken photo’s your friends find too hilarious for words. You won’t be sorry.

Social Media for Business General Overview

Business Workshop

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that if you’re not promoting your business, it will not grow. Are you using the power of social media (effectively) yet?

Are you being found online? Are people talking about you? Do you know what they are saying about you? Is it good/bad/indifferent? More and more these days people are turning to social media to find, complain and compliment a business. Minding your business now has a whole new connotation.

Most businesses should be on Social Media in some way, shape or form. Choosing where from the plethora of avenues available is now the tricky part. You don’t have to be everywhere and in some rare cases, you shouldn’t be anywhere. Come spend the day with us to find out what could work for you.

Platform Specific - Facebook

Platform Specific Workshop

Facebook is the largest social media platform by quite a mile. At the very basic level, Facebook is a free social networking website that allows registered users to create profiles, upload photos and video, send messages and keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues.

If you’ve done our Become Socially Savvy workshop and are ready to take the next step with your favourite platform, you’ve come to the right place. Or perhaps you just are already proficient in some of them and want to be more in others. Take your pick from one of the tabs below and come join us for a morning or afternoon of fun.

Become Tech Savvy

Beginner Workshop

Designed to teach how to operate, navigate and get the most out of a laptop / smartphone / tablet. This is for those who have a less than desirable relationship with technology, have a new device and just want to learn to maximise its use or more specifically, for people who have not had much experience with technology but are eager to step into the digital age.

If you don’t have any social media accounts, aren’t sure where to begin on a technical level, or asked a friend to read up on this for you and would love to give it a go... you’re in the right place.

Everybody Starts Somewhere

There are those among us who just learn better when physically sitting with someone and being taught the ropes as opposed to sifting through guides and information on their own. This section is for them. For everyone else, everything, and we do mean everything that these two workshops cover, can easily be found online in we-refuse-to-even-guesstimate-how-many places.
