"We could not resist using the creativity of Avalaunch Media products with our students. The company has truly designed some fun graphics to help explain social media not just to kids, but also to other educators and parents who are not quite as up to date."

How do we teach students about social media when many believe they know they need to know because they use social media. This post provides 3 resources to help you out.
One of them is the interactive infographic on the History of Social Media. This infographic allows you to explore social media over three time periods, beginning with BC - 1800s. Did you know that the first postal service was in 550 BC?
The other two resources are Social Meowdia Explained and Social MEDogIA explained. Both provide a humorous look at social media that will engage students.
This blog post also provides some great ideas on how to incorporate these resources into future lesson.
