Social Media mind maps

Exploring social media mind maps

These maps offer different ways into the Social Media unit. The Brief History of Social Media and History of social networks focus on the past, while Instagram and What Facebook Knows look at particular platforms. Other maps cover Teens and Social Media and The culture of connectivity.

For a starting point, try The Brief History of Social Media if you want to focus on developments over time. For a narrower topic, open What Facebook Knows and follow its branches on timelines and the Like button.

Study with the maps

Follow the branches of a map, then close it and sketch the connections you remember. Open another map on a similar topic and compare what its creator chose to include. When you want to read ideas in sentences or check terms, switch to notes or flashcards on the unit page.

Choose a map and trace its connections for yourself.
