This cleverly designed Perspectives Flip Book shows the pros and cons of social media. The "Like It" section presents the constructive aspects of social media: staying connected with friends, discovering innovative educational uses, finding information, and even fighting crime. The "Leave It" flip side presents the dangerous aspects of social media, including enduring bullying, encountering predators, as well as ignoring real-life relationships. Both "sides" emphasize safety. Between the "flipped" sections of the book lie a shared index, a glossary, sources, and a handy chart of pluses and minuses. Students will likely find this book a helpful guide to understanding and safely using this exciting technology.

Social media is everywhere in society today. It can be a great tool for communicationbut it is easily abused. Should you craft a careful social media presence? Or is it better to just stay away? Perspectives Flip Books are like two books in one: Start from one end and learn why people are logging off. Then flip it over and discover why others believe responsible social media use can be beneficial. Critical thinking questions help you analyze both perspectives and form your own opinions about the issue.
