We are looking for students to give us feedback on the pros and cons of TikTok and Instagram social media challenges!
|
|
Your students have probably seen social media challenges online, or their friends may even be doing them! We want to hear the pros and cons from your students about these challenges.
Some of our questions for students include:
- Are there some social media challenges/pranks that are harmless and fun that parents/teachers should know about? What are they?
- Are there some challenges you think are a waste of time? Let us know why!
- Are there some challenges you saw carried out at school? Tell us about them!
For helping us with this project students will get:
- Volunteer hours
- Ability to put SmartSocial internship on your resume
- Be featured on SmartSocial.com
- If you are selected, you will get a $20 gift card to Amazon or Starbucks after you complete your internship tasks
These fun activities will give students the chance to share their personal experiences and give our audience insight into the typical social media activity of teens and tweens.
FAQs
- How much time will this take?
Students will be asked to compile answers to our questions before we zoom with them (approximately 15-30 minutes). They must be written so you can email them to us. Our video chat will take about 60 minutes. The total project is less than 2 hours.
- When does it happen?
We are accepting applications through August 9th for this topic (other topics will come after this). If selected, students will schedule a time to meet with us and save it to their calendar.
- Do parents need to be on video with the student during the interview?
No, but we encourage students to show parents the value of this program and get your permission.
