Social Media: Like It or Leave It

by Rebecca Rowell

Overview

Social media is everywhere in society today. It can be a great tool for communication—but it is easily abused. Should you craft a careful social media presence? Or is it better to just stay away? Perspectives Flip Books are like two books in one: Start from one end and learn why people are logging off. Then flip it over and discover why others believe responsible social media use can be beneficial. Critical thinking questions help you analyze both perspectives and form your own opinions about the issue.
