Do We Need a Social Media Curriculum?

Clearly social media connects us with people around the world  and gives us a better understanding of our global neighbors. Taking a close look at this infographic I can't help but wonder if we need to start thinking about a social media curriculum in our schools. Given the influence social media has on the economy and our lives, doesn't it makes sense to help students gain an understanding of what they are seeing and how it impacts their world? Similar to teaching students how to think critically when reading any other text, don't we also need to teach our students how to effectively use and critically view social media?
