A brief descrition of how it works:
Facebook is a social networking site that makes it easy for you to connect and share with family and friends online. Originally designed for college students,  anyone over the age of 13 with a valid email address could join Facebook. Today, Facebook is the world's largest social network, with more than 1 billion users worldwide.

Facebook allows you to send messages and post status updates to keep in touch with friends and family. You can also share different types of content, like photos and links. But sharing something on Facebook is a bit different from other types of online communication. Unlike email or instant messaging, which are relatively private, the things you share on Facebook are more public, which means they'll usually be seen by many other people.

*How could you use it in innovately and creatively in ESL?
I think that using faebook in, can help a lot since it is a very common application, it also has various functions such as creating groups where we can share materials and activities. Send messages, make video calls and now a new function for meeting rooms, which allows streaming video in real time for a number of people.

How does TikTok work?

It is true that there is no great science behind the operation of this application, but some things can help you feel less lost. To start with, you don't have to register if you just want to watch a few videos. But if you want to publish, you will need to open an account.

To do so, you can log in with a social network account (Facebook, Twitter) or Google account, or register with an email or your cell phone number. Once you've done that, there's nothing left to do but start exploring.

Advantages:

There are already more than 500 million users.

Its algorithm is a little simpler than that of other social networks, so it will be relatively easier for you to have greater visibility and organic growth.

It has a number of tools for video editing, which allows you to improve the content in an easy, fast and simple way.

Its extensive music library makes it impossible to want to go out once you start creating videos, since more and more ideas will emerge and the same app will give you the possibility to carry them out.

It is not a mass social network, so for now the creators have a large audience to share.

There is no advertising.

Disadvantages:

You can not include other content other than videos.

You only focus on a young audience.

You can't promote yourself in a paid way, only organic.

You don't have the option to put up long videos.

How you could use it innovatively and creatively in ESL?

We can use tik tok to teach through video or explain some important a parts of English  with examples.

What it is twitter?
It is a two-way communication service with which you can share information of various kinds quickly, easily and free of charge.
How can I apply it in education?
A teacher can report on Twitter the progress in their classes, mentioning what activities are carried out, the reason or even giving more information about them. The objective of this is not only to collaborate with the community and give ideas to other users (teachers, parents, experts in the field; whoever is on the other side), but also to keep a record of what is being done in class. Open "threads" of historical events. Through questions and answers; share what you learn.
Example:
-Use a hashtag (#) to have virtual conversations about the class.-Send direct messages (DM) to your students inviting them to participate in a conversation or sharing content.-Make summaries of 140 characters with the key information of the topics to be discussed.
Advantages:
-It is accessible, you can install it on your cell phone or search for it in your browser.
-Immediacy, facilitates access to information.Increase learning.
-It promotes autonomous and informal learning, since students can have access to various tools.
-It produces an agile reading, derived from its brevity (140 characters).
-Having to express ideas or opinions on a topic in only 140 characters helps students in their writing skills. Therefore, it focuses the attention of the students, and the search for objectives related to the study plan, but not tied or restricted to it.
Disadvantages:
-Disadvantages of its use mentioned in the literature.
-Risk to privacy
-Not knowing how to use it and work in and with it.
-Preference for more visual social networks, for example, Youtube, Facebook or Instagram.

A brief description of how it works:
Instagram is a social network and a mobile application at the same time, which allows its users to upload images and videos with multiple photographic effects such as filters, frames, retro colors, etc., to later share those images on the same platform or on other social networks.

- It has limited features, It enables the users to resize the images and enhance the pictures through a variety of filters
- If your profile is not private you may be in serious risk due to all can see your profile and updates. This is more dangerous for  students and people under 18 years old.

How we would implement it in ESL:
If an update is planned to come out as a post, there is the option of "Select multiple", we mean to use this feature in order to in only one post to have many images... With this in mind, students are allowed to create stories, recipes, manuals and even short videos.
Instagram is a social media that students know how to use as if they were masters and many of them have lots of followers, we can take advantage of this fac and every now, and then to make some activities or tasks in which the top three students with more hearths in their post would win some extra score.
