Join Us on Facebook!

Facebook is a great site to find your old buddies from school and connect with family members you haven’t seen in a while. I’m talking about K-12 and beyond and people that haven’t seen you since you were a baby! You can find them all on Facebook.  I’ve reconnected with so many people using Facebook. I think it’s a great way to keep in touch with old friends and make new friends that may share your interests.   On Facebook you can send and receive invitations to connect with your friends and  you can control who gets to see your page. Once you add someone as a friend their friends also see your page but you can set your privacy options so that only the people you know can see your page. Here are a few other cool and interesting things you can do on Facebook:

1. Join local or national groups-If you are interested in literacy, there are literacy groups you can become a part of. If you are a working mom you can join a local working moms group.
2. View and post photos and videos- If you want everyone to see the latest photos of your family pet or your recent trip you can upload photos and videos to your page. You can change the settings so that only certain people are allowed to view these photos and videos.
3. Browse and post events- Use the Events application to browse local or national events posted on Facebook like your upcoming class reunion or create an event and invite people to your next party!
4. Send virtual gifts- Gifts are icons that you can send to people on Facebook using the Gifts application. You can send birthday gifts, food,  flowers, and the list goes on.
