The hashtag started as a suggestion, not a feature: in August 2007 a user proposed the pound sign as a way to group posts on Twitter, and the site only began linking them two years later. This grid covers the everyday vocabulary of the apps, from a PROFILE and a CAPTION to a NOTIFICATION and a post that goes VIRAL. Words run across, down, backwards and up. Privacy and online safety are covered in the digital citizenship word search.
Frequently asked questions
What does it mean when a post goes viral?
It spreads far beyond the people who follow the account, usually because many viewers share it within a short time. Like a virus, each share can reach a new group of people.
Is this word search good for a media literacy lesson?
Yes. It works as a warm up word puzzle before a talk about how a NEWSFEED decides what to show, what an INFLUENCER is paid to post and how to check what you read.
