Aug. 2018. lib. ed. $31.93. Gr 6 Up Social media apps like Instagram, SnapChat, and Twitter connect millions of people to each other every day and have changed the ways in which millions communicate. Along the way, the companies behind the technologies have grown more prominent, and this series introduces readers to the global corporations that have become ubiquitous with information-sharing and social networking. Each book examines its subject's founding, growth, technological innovations, and future aspirations as well as its sometimes-complex relationship with society; fortunately, the series does not shy away from addressing the controversies, providing teens with a more complete and balanced perspective. At the end of every chapter, students will discover "Text-Dependent Questions" that should challenge their reading comprehension, as well as "Research Projects," which suggest possible avenues for additional independent study. Thought-provoking sidebars and embedded QR codes supply additional content-rich material. VERDICT A first purchase for middle and high school students.

"Friend me!" "Like this!" "Copy and share!" The impact of Facebook on world communication has been immense. Almost overnight, networks of friends, colleagues, classmates, families, and more were created, all connected by Facebook. In the years since, the site and the app have grown in impact and influence. Inside, find out how Facebook got started, how it grew . . . and where it's going next! Social media companies have changed the way that people in every generation communicate. This series focuses on the technology that is changing the way we connect, relate, and stay informed. Each title in TECH 2.0: WORLD-CHANGING SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES includes color photos throughout, and back matter including an index and further reading lists for books and internet resources. Key Icons appear throughout the books in this series in an effort to encourage library readers to build knowledge, gain awareness, explore possibilities, and expand their viewpoints through our content rich nonfiction books. Key Icons in this series are: Words to Understand shown at the front of each chapter with definitions. These words are set in boldfaced color type in that chapter, so that readers are able to reference back to the definitions, building their vocabulary and enhancing their reading comprehension. Sidebars are highlighted graphics with content-rich material within that allows readers to build knowledge and broaden their perspectives by weaving together additional information to provide realistic and holistic perspectives.Text-Dependent Questions are placed at the end of each chapter. They challenge the reader's comprehension of the material they have just read, while sending the reader back to the text for more careful attention to the evidence presented there. Research Projects are provided at the end of each chapter and give readers suggestions for projects that encourage deeper research and analysis. Educational Videos are offered in chapters through the use of a QR code, that, when scanned, takes the student to an online video showing a moment in history, a speech, or an instructional video. This gives the readers additional content to supplement the text. A Series Glossary of Key Terms is included in the backmatter containing terminology used throughout the series. Words found here broaden the reader's knowledge and understanding of terms used in this field.
