Imagine I assigned you to
       update your facebook
     status as you arrived at
  school. What would it be?
  Would you say a little or a
lot? Would you update it for
                each class?
 Students  will
 synthesize their
 current knowledge
 about plantation
 culture * by
 restating it in the
 form of modern
 social media
Same   as
 Friday
Stay Safe
Stay Sane
Stay out of
 trouble
 Things like
  facebook,
  myspace, Google
  + and twitter
 A way to
  communicate
 New, and evolving
You   think
 your
 online
 posts are
 private
They ARE
 NOT!
Things  you want
 the whole world
 to read
Future employers
 can and will look
 at your online
 postings
Look  at what
 “Kunta” posted
Would you post
 something like
 that?
 Watch   the clip of
  the Ali / Foreman
  fight
 Take notes
 Write a tweet from
  the fight
 What would you
  say in 140 letters?
What is a
tweet?
