Advantages, Disadvantages & Boundary Setting

This lesson builds on the boundary-setting discussion from Lesson 2 and extends it into a structured exploration of the advantages and disadvantages of social media. Students collaborate to generate their own advantages/disadvantages list, discuss whether social media turns people into performers, and work in small groups on a Social Media Scenarios activity — arranging scenario cards from most positive to most negative and discussing what boundaries would keep people safe.

Learning Outcomes

Outcome 1:

Identify the advantages and disadvantages of social media.

Outcome 2:

Share experiences and stories of boundary setting or boundary crossing online.

Outcome 3:

Understand the impact of social media activity on future goals and aspirations.
