Grade 13 - Electives
Social Media (Credit: 0.50)This course won’t teach you how to use Facebook, the proper
way to use a hashtag, or how to get more Instagramâ„¢
followers. (We trust that you’re an expert on all those things
already.) What this course will teach you is that the world of
social media revolves around you—your actions, your
decisions, and your interests. You will examine how social
media has evolved. You will understand how you can find
authenticity and truth within an online world where you can
“be†anyone. And you will learn how your digital footprint
makes a bigger impression than your physical one. You will also
discover that your voice is important. You’re not only a
reader—you’re a writer. You don’t just follow the news—you
report it as a citizen journalist. And you don’t just gather
information—you crowdsource it. The future of Social Media is
yours to define… so how will you use it to make a difference?
