Begin Refining Your Research Topic in the Area of Social Media

Student in Digital Communications class will begin refining their research topics in the area of Social Media. Ideas the students are investigating range from identity and catfishing to the impact of social media posts on careers. There are a plethora of potential connections to social media, including privacy, advertising, safety, marketing, education, etc.

Students will use search engine tools, as well as tools like Flipboard, Pocket, or News360. Students will sort through articles of interest, and will put the most relevant articles in a Pinterest Board to share their research.

Refining the subtopic will allow students to find a focus for a term-end presentation on their findings at the Student Symposium or other venues.
