    I just worked through this lesson with a group of students last night. It was a very successful one. I combined it with some other activities like reading facts and figures of the effects of Geotagging. As a warmer, we went through the @insta_repeat account, where we saw how many people have taken the same photo over and over. The students were very interested and really thought hard about how they can change and educate the people around them regarding the topic.
    Thanks so much for this lesson!

      Hi Andrew! Thanks for you comment, I’m happy you find this lesson useful 🙂 Re the time, I think it all depends on the size and kind of group you teach as well as how much your students are engaged and eager to talk. In the comment above, you’ll find a warm-up idea, so check it out as it might help you supplement the lesson.
