Social Media Changing Education

With social media growing so much in these past years there has been even more use of it even for ways to teach in schools. From my past experiences in high school, grades 9-12, there were assignments that were lead by social media in order to promote positive and educational posts for everyone to see. The way that the teachers checked if we really did the assignment was by having us pull out our device and pulling up the post that we were suppose to make.

Now I am not sure how schools would use social media as they did when I used it. I see a lot of schools from back home that have made accounts on different social media platforms in order to keep students, parents and others up to date with important dates and what is relevant to the students and their families. This is a really great approach that some schools I know have taken and their support has given a lot of important information on people who want to make a difference in their community. Personally, I have seen many students grow with their take in the school system with the support of social media and have helped schools get what they need in order to help students since it is coming from a passionate student that cares what is going on in the school system.

I have always had social media as a distraction from school. I always find a way to get myself distracted from the work I am suppose to do simply because social media gets me interested in things that are irrelevant to what I am suppose to do. Social media gets me stuck in the time and makes me lose focus from my assignments but it is also a way to help me from stressing since it is a way to get my mind off of the amount of work I may have to do. This is not referring to me slacking off, this is meaning that I will take breaks in the process of assignments so that I don't burn myself out. So if social media is used properly by students, then it can be a really big help for them in the educational system and as a stress reliever if it is useful that way.

Business and Social Media

In my time using various different social media platforms for personal and school reasons, there has always been advertisements from big and small businesses that are trying to grow. Using social media platforms are a very good place for businesses to promote their products or whatever they are trying to advertise using social media. From my experience in social media, a lot of the big brands seem to get more and more promotion from platforms like Instagram since they are more popular and have a larger audience that will share the posts being made to promote deals or new products being released. Businesses have grown rapidly or almost none at all due to social media. Even if there are businesses that don't get as big as fast, every business that is being promoted is getting some sort of recognition by people who view it and share it. Any type of recognition is a good for businesses because that means that people are noticing them and not ignoring the type of promotion that is bei

Social Media in Politics

It is no question that the president of the United States that has been recently elected has been highly active in social media sites such as twitter. His constant use of twitter to call out others and cause tension over the states has been something that would be better kept to himself.  I personally do not follow Donald Trump on twitter but from seeing repost on other platforms of social media has made me nervous for those who he has been targeting because it is not fair what he is doing to people that want to make it in a place where everyone is "equal". Social media has made it easier to know what has been going on in politics and the terribly stuff that politics have been causing to those who are minorities in the U.S. Even though it is important to keep up with politics and the different changes that are trying to be made in order to attack those who are just trying to have a better life in a place where there is opportunity. There has been a lot of ways that social m

Social Activism

We all know that in this age we live in there has been a lot going on in the world. Who is to blame is on what people want to believe. However, there are obvious signs and evidence that there is a specific person to blame. There is people recording everyday now. People record to make sure police are in check and to show what kind of world we live in where there is brutality going on in a daily basis. This is sad to know but more and more people have been dying while the people who are trying to do something the most is the generation being affected by it and not those who swore to "protect" them. Social media plays a big role in activism now that there is ways to prove that someone was acting without reason in order to cause harm. Most of the people growing up and experiencing this have been doing all they can so that those who are too young will not have to deal with such issues that cause pain, agony, hatred and pure sadness like there has been in todays society.
