In education you see social media being used to show new methods for students to learn and be engaged. This could be just as a video that is showing what the topic is or it could be another teacher showing teachers a new way to explain a topic. An example video of a teacher explaining a topic is linked below. @lisaelaine_ 1,2 double I do! Swim = swimming 1,2,3 its a no for me!

 Digital writing is something that you see all over social media even if it is only a few words that are in the caption. The digital writing is what tells people what happened in the pictures or the video. The pictures and videos is what makes digital media.

Depending on the item they are wanting to sell or advertise they will use either pathos, ethos or logos in their advertisement. Pathos is working to connect to the emotional side of the people that are viewing the ad, so they may use pathos in a food advertisement.
