If the advertisement is not relevant to you, or you don’t want to see it again, you can click “Hide ad” to get rid of the ad from your timeline. 
If the advertisement is offensive or inappropriate, you can click “Report ad” to report it to the website. 
Reflection Questions

Tutorial: Learn key social media concepts, definitions, and prosocial behaviors in an
interactive tutorial format. 
Guided activity: Participate in a directed activity in which responsible behaviors are
modeled and practiced. 2–3 social media posts are shown with clear directions on how to
respond and specific actions to take. 
Free-play: Freely explore and interact with the TestDrive social media timeline,
which contains posts and comments relevant to the particular module’s topic along with
more generic posts. 
Reflection: All posts relevant to the module topic from the free-play session are
highlighted.
