Ice cream, what a perfect image to think of as I am perspiring by the minute!!! Anyway, what a great analogy to represent the different ways technology is able to customize information to meet your individual needs. Social Media in plain English can design the unique community that can be designed for you. Anywhere from large corporations to personal use, social media can provide the experience that people are looking for.. The benefits of social media are that they are customize for you and not the average person. This video reminded me of the lemonade commercial, where a 10 year old girl, is selling lemonade in front of her house, then through social media word is spread and she becomes a huge corporation. The collaboration that social media creates is the tool that should be used to promote community within the classroom. It is a way to reflect on experiences and learn from others as well as giving opportunities to be open to new information and ideas.
