HOW TO BEGIN
(20 minutes)
Start by having students talk about their own social media use
in general. If some are limited by their parents in how they
participate in social media, talk about why. Most students will
have a sense of a boundary between the broader public space
of social media and a more limited private space of social
media (e.g. a company’s Facebook page versus a friend or
family member’s Instagram page). It is helpful for them to know
this difference in order to start developing a more informed
concept of digital space as a public engagement platform.
