The internet has allowed students to engage with their social networks in a much more intimate way than ever. With their constant access to the internet, students are able to connect over any topic or issue without the fear of being judged or criticized. It has also allowed educators to engage students in a more meaningful way to teach them skills or knowledge.
This is the con. It’s the pros. It creates a sense of community, but it gives students the perfect excuse to not learn, and it creates an atmosphere of fear and stress where students will be afraid to post anything online.
Students hate this idea. They feel anxious, they feel judged, and they feel alone. But it doesn’t really matter. Students who are able to write something on their own or can find an online forum to discuss things are just as likely to get published as their peers who are afraid to do it in person. And that’s great.
If you’re going to be doing work or college, you should be doing your actual job.
And if youre going to be doing schoolwork or studying, you should be doing it online. But this means youre going to be doing it in front of anyone, not just your computer screen. It also means youre going to be sharing it with your peers, which is not necessarily a good thing. Social media in education has become an “online” war zone.
This is a point I get asked a lot. I think its important to point out that it is not just about what you say, but what you do with it. You could post this video online and your peers could see it. But if you post bad things you dont expect, youre going to get reprimanded. This is true even if youre just making a joke. No matter what you post, it is what you say that matters.
I think the problem with social media in education is that it is so easy (and free) to get involved in it. It is also easy to ignore it. Because there is so much of it, and you see all sides of it, you don’t really understand it.
Do your best to try to make yourself a little less passive, and try to make a point or two about how to use your social media.
One of the most important things when youre in school is to be a good role model, right? It doesn’t matter what youre doing, how youre doing it, or what youre accomplishing, if a teacher doesn’t see you being good in class, you know that you are falling short.
