Pop Culture 101 | Friday | Period 2
Today's class was meeting in the computer lab and all those that went to the classroom would be directed here with a note on the door. John was there, typing idly away on a computer while everyone filed in.
"Today," he started, getting to his feet, "we're going to be talking about social media. Social media, for those that might not be from these modern times, is is the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue. Basically, it's the use of computers and cellular phones to keep in touch with the world. This sort of media has exploded recently with the advent of smartphones and netbooks and the idea of being connected just about anywhere. Blogs, , Facebook, event coordinating, microblogging and information aggregators are a few examples of social media. Even if you aren't from a place that's really been exposed to social media, you've probably used it here. In fact, it's hard to get away from both being exposed to and using social media when it's become so integral to how we talk to each other, how we get information and how we communicate with the world at large."
John brought up the Twitter website, projecting it up on the wall so everyone could see it. "Today, you're going to participate in some social media. Everyone's going to create a Twitter account and start using it. For those that don't know Twitter, it's very simple. Once you go through the sign up process, which I'll demonstrate, you type updates into a text box that are 140 characters are less. People can respond to those if they want or they can just read them and move on. For instance, I could make a small update about my son or the weather and Clark over there could reply by calling me names or laughing at me. It's simple and it's social media."
With that said, John went through the process of creating a Twitter account and even typed a few updates to show people how it worked. Once it seemed that everyone had gotten the hang of it, he set them loose on the world of Twitter.
