The way hash tags work would just be labeling your post under one or numerous relatable topics. With the label someone who is interested in said topic can see all about that topic. Since the post will becoming form different sources and different methods of thinking the interested researcher will be exposed to various avenues and interpretation of that topic. Without realizing it anyone who uses a hash tag on their social media outlets are experimenting with Metaliterate learning.

#HASHTAGS and MetaLiteracy
In the beginning of the first MetaLiteracy video we were asked to go onto social media outlets and 'get the conversation started' by posting and using '#metaliteracy'. The online social media hash tag got extremely popular with the rise of Twitter. Then other major social media outlets also bean to use it. After the request to use '#metaliterace' made me realize hash tag trend is metaliterate learning at its finest without most people realizing.

I believe that users are definately engaging in metaliteracy by using hashtags, and they are also engaging in metacognition. I think this because, if a person posts something on any social network, they could have ended there, but the introduction of a hashtag means that they have engaged enough with their own thoughts to label their post. Thus, they have essentially "thought" about their own thinking and ideas.
