Social Media(Face Book)

In the

Small Community of Benambra

• A good tactic for such a sparse region, it will attract all age demographics.

• Benambra is an isolated area in East Gippsland high country with a mainly ageing population who suffer the tyranny of distance.

• By starting the community with a blended approach, we hope to encourage them to go further.

Mission• To continue with facebook for our community.

– To introduce Kate Faithfull to the e-mentor group. Kate is our trainee coordinator and very willing to be included.

– All this will enable community members to access the neighbourhood house for the how to part of it all thus creating a new learning environment while developing skills about social media.

– It will give clients a sense of pride in being able to learn IT skills and what can be achieved by an older generation.

– To help clients understand the privacy rules within the use of internet.– To develop a safe and comfortable online space for all.– Centre has 4 computers and 3 laptops. We have put in for funding to

get all computers up to date and to buy 3 ipads.– We have trained staff on hand.– Due to size of town target groups can be accessed and identified easily.– Give clients choices.– Isolation does not mean that community misses out, our aim is to

welcome all.
