Media Navigator: Advantages, Disadvantages & Boundary Setting
This lesson builds on the boundary-setting discussion from Lesson 2 and extends it into a structured exploration of the advantages and disadvantages of social media. Students collaborate to generate their own advantages/disadvantages list, discuss whether social media turns people into performers, and work in small groups on a Social Media Scenarios activity — arranging scenario cards from most positive to most negative and discussing what boundaries would keep people safe.
Learning Outcomes
Outcome 1:
Identify the advantages and disadvantages of social media.
Outcome 2:
Share experiences and stories of boundary setting or boundary crossing online.
Outcome 3:
