WHAT’S NEW

ACTIVITY 1: Think and Post: The Social Thinker!

This activity encourages social sharing to express social

concerns on participation in primary and secondary group of socialization. Learners nowadays,
find it more interesting when they are asked to express themselves on the content of social issues
that engage social media than talking an issue without social media involvement. Thus, it builds
a better relationship among people. This focuses on bringing groups of people sharing common
interest and interactions. This provides the best options to promote them on Facebook page
through sharing their social interactions and common interest on the social group they are with.

Facebook presents a very unique opportunity to explore and express this generation’s
views and social participation. This is a large type of viral effect of information as one of the online
sources.
