Evaluation Why do kids feel it is so important to get likes?
In order to make good discussion question it is easy to use the high ordered thinking pyramid. It Starts of at the bottom as knowledge as the most common yet least important way to think highly. This is most likely because this is just simply a question if you know something or not. What is more important is actually understanding material and this happens to be a totally separate piece of thinking. Above this is taking the knowledge you know and either comparing it to something else different or taking it a step higher and actually changing the subject completely. For example questions: Evaluation: judge the value of material. How can social media justify our generation as such a bad thing like everyone says? (Now more kids are getting more into the web can this be a bad thing because they hurt themselves for attention? Or good because they focus more and have something to do?) Synthesis: Formulate new structures from existing knowledge and skills. How can the likes of a simple picture on the web develop a large amount of money across the world? Is this a good thing? (Now companies have figured out how to make a like on a photo into advertisement for more money by sitting bad and watching the likes grow) Analysis: understand both the content and structure of material. How does the understanding of kid’s knowledge on social media compare to the companies knowledge who produce the likes, shares, and motoring of safety across the web? (now do kids realize that they are advertising products and making money for others?) Application: use learning in new concrete situations. How does kids crave attention in life apply to how they crave attention with the web?

How would a regular and normal kid describe what they do daily on YouTube and their phone and if they actually know the meaning of what everything such as likes and commercials do to their generation? Knowledge: remember previously learned material. Is YouTube, instagram, vine etc. define the new generation of kid’s knowledge? Could any child label everything they even know/ learned about the web? Do media and companies select the right ads for everything that is appropriate? (now kids don’t have much knowledge of the hidden people behind the screen that is controlling and watching everything they do)
