Social Media Platforms

What Social Media Platforms have you heard of and do you have any accounts for these?

Let’s start with Facebook.

We will all go through the security set-up together.

Let’s get started!!

Everyone will set up a private Facebook account using their college e-mail address.

Group into 3’s/4’s and choose 3-4 of the social media platforms and share your own knowledge.

Keep to the topic!Discuss:

What is the main purpose of your platform? Who are the customers of these social media

platforms?

Once you get an idea of a couple, you can begin your research for Assessment 1. Use your new Facebook account to log in to other platforms.

Research & discussion

In your groups you will present what the various personalisation tools are for your chosen social media platforms.

Who are the key customers? What are the personalisation tools? Are they effective? What are their main purpose?

Susan’s tip….try not to get too sucked into looking at the content on these platforms at the moment.

On Thursday….
