Getting started with Facebook

Facebook is the world's largest social networking site. It provides users with the online facility to connect and share with friends and family around the world. On Facebook you can:

• Find friends and add them so that you can see their profiles
  
• Find and follow organisations, celebrities, politicians and groups that you are interested in
  
• Create groups that consist of certain people, such as your class, other teachers, or parents from your school
  
• Create your own Facebook profile which has your name, picture, and details about you
• Create a Facebook page for an organisation or an interest that you have. For example, you can create a Facebook page for your school or your class.

Often when we create a new account we don't always understand all the settings. A while later we may realise that we'd like to modify some of these settings. Review this useful tutorial to find out how to do this.
