March 9

Your Task:

Once you have opened Social Media & Common Sense read the page and watch the videos. While you are not simply limited to using the information you have read or watched on the page, you are required to make a reference to it when coming up with your response.  Please answer the following question:

“Should there be a guide to teach people how to use social media responsibly, or is common sense simply good enough?”

We will discuss our opinions at the end of today’s class.
