Profile Pages:
Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, iMessage, Twitter, Vine
Overview:
The social media examples listed on this page revolve around the idea of assuming a profile. Students assume the profile of a person (George Washington's Instagram page), a place (the Twitter page of Jamestown), a company (the Instagram of United Pacific Railroad Company), an organization (Vine video plan of the NWACP conference), or even a political party (the Whig Party Facebook page). These profiles can be adopted to virtually any unit or social studies class. The options of what profile students can assume is virtually endless. We suggest encouraging students to think outside the box, selecting more than just famous people to select.
For each profile you will find an editable PPT, non-editable PDF and some student sample. If you like the idea but would like to adapt it for your class, we encourage you to use and edit out PPT to fit your needs. If you like the layout and design, then the PDF is easier to make copies. Finally, the student samples can help both you and your students get ideas.
