21. - Work alone, in pairs, or small groups
- In the galleries, look for something unusual, surprising, different or just cool to focus on
- Considering what is unique about your preferred social media platform, craft your content
- Either post your content live, or take notes to discuss with the group later
- Experiment, get creative, try something new
- Look for already existing content you can share (N-YHS blog posts, etc.)
