40. Student explores and experiments
openly with social media. This is
strongly influenced by authorities
(parents/guardians) through access
and peers through peer culture.
Student does not understand how
online and offline interactions can
impact each other or possess a
sophisticated understanding of
context.

social media usage and how it fits into life
desires, outlook, and goals.

requires constant renegotiation as one’s
goals, needs, contexts, and
circumstances change.
