I need your help to find a student in Columbus.
This quarter I’m taking a psychology course (part of my Deaf studies minor). Everyone in the class is designing a project using operant conditioning to teach something new. For my project I would like to teach someone how to use a social networking site such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
I realize that many of these sites require more training than just the basic “how to” steps of creating and using an account. For my project specifically I need to work on the basics, but I would be happy to fill in the missing steps as well so both parties can benefit. The complexities of online etiquette and relationship building would come second.
My ideal candidate is…
- Completely unfamiliar with the chosen site. They have never been on it before or created an account previously. This will be something completely foreign to them.
- It should not be a digital native. I don’t want to say I want someone “old” for this experiment, but I also don’t want a younger person overly familiar with computers.
- I need this to be someone in Columbus who is willing to meet up with me for a couple hours during the next 5-6 weeks. I can be flexible in choosing a meeting location.
- It would be great if I found someone who really wants to learn. I chose this project because of its real life application. I know there is a demand for this knowledge and I want to help someone learn who in return is helping me.
Do you know someone who fits these qualifications? Please let me know so I can set something up with them and feel free to pass this information along to a friend. Thanks!
