For those of us who use social media on a daily basis and who do most of our shopping online, it can be easy to falsely assume that everyone else is equally comfortable online. That’s why I was happy to see Common Craft’s new videos about online basics.

Common Craft’s new online basics series contains three videos that are designed to help those new to social media, online shopping, and other elements of a digital lifestyle learn the basics.

Digital Lifestyle explains what “digital lifestyle” means and some of the benefits of social media.

Online Identity explains why a person would create an online identity.

Online Accounts explains how to create a secure username and password on a website. This is a good review for anyone, not just those who are new to using the web.

Disclosure: I have an in-kind business relationship with Common Craft.
