Social Media



The above video is titled "Social Media Revolution 2". The video was created by the authors of the book titled "Socialnomics". I use this video in my behavioral science class when talking about social media in the sociology unit. I think it is so important for students to understand the impact of the internet and social media on our society as a whole. It is quite amazing to watch the students' reactions as they watch the video. I think at times the information can be quite an eye-opener for them.

  1. Excellent video. It truly illustrates both the power and the shift in communication with social media. We as educators need to meet people where they are.

  2. I thought this was a very interesting video. I think I probably had some of the same reactions your students might have!

  3. I thought this was great! I learned a ton and couldn't believe some of those statistics. I must be getting old though because I had to stop and rewind so I could read everything :)
