Social Media

Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter connect billions of people from all over the world. Social media can be used to stay connected with family and friends, to learn how to do things, to catch up on popular dance moves, to see the world, to find out what is happening all over the world, and to collaborate with others. However, we need to be cautious of what we post, because you never know who is searching for your information.

The following video from common sense education discusses social media and how we should try to represent ourselves in a more positive way in our profiles.
