Social Media and Activism

Social media is so big for these younger generations. One big movement that has been moving across many different social media platforms in the #metoo movement. This movement is about to bring awareness to sexual assault. Many celebrities and influencers used their social media to bring more awareness. I am bringing this up, on my social media and children blog because I personally think this is an important movement. Many keep their stories quiet and this type of activism makes much more aware and feel like they are not alone. Social media a simple # can go viral and start a movement. That is also why it is so important for children social media is monitored. It is ever changing and things on the internet happen quick and "last forever"

Collaboration

Collaboration is made so much easier for younger generations. While I was in high school, there was barely and online collaboration among my peers. Messager with email hard just started to become prevalent. School group project were all done in person and would take a lot of time trying to fit everyone schedules.

Things have really changed. Now many social media sites have a poll that you can make on your profile if you need a quick survey of people. You design a question and answers options. Then you can set a length for the poll and get results in an hour. They can be serious or fun. I have seen people ask "Who is going to (blanks) concert?" and friends can reply "yes" or "no". Instead of having to send a bunch of individual messages.

Younger generations can use all these sites so readily available for collaboration. Websites like Google make it possible. Where you can share a single document that everyone can edit and put there work on. You can see what you and your peers are getting done. No, need for the fuss of trying to find a time that works for everyone schedule.
