What is Facebook?
Facebook is a social networking website where users can post comments, share photographs, and post links to news or other interesting content on the web, chat live, and watch short-form video. Posts can be shared publicly. Our school Facebook account is Westwood with Iford School. Followers Facebook users are able to follow or be followed. Following somebody ensures that all of their activity and comments appear in the followers news feed and that the information you broadcast is instantly distributed. Users can also private message each other when they don’t want conversations to appear. Westwood with Iford School will not enter into private discussions with others. Reactions Clicking Like below a post on Facebook is a way to let people know that you enjoy it without leaving a comment. Just like a comment, anyone who can see the post can see that you liked it. Reactions are an extension of the Like Button to give people more ways to share their reaction to a post in a quick and easy way. The collection of reactions include Like, Love, Care, Haha, Wow, Sad and Angry. |
