@NataliGP2022 I completely agree with you with the benefits and the challenges. The challenges are something that really keeps me from wanting to integrate social media in the classroom. I fear them seeing something they shouldn't no matter how much I try to protect them.
@AshtonDoar @georgejroy I completely agree with you. I do not love children using social media for a lot of reasons but if they are going to use it for academic reasons then the teacher needs to teach them the skills they need to use media and monitor what they are doing.
@georgejroy#EDTE731SUMMER2022 There are many benefits to integrating social media into a learning experience. One benefit would be that it is new for students which may keep them engaged and excited about the assignment. They also can connect with their classmates (to be cont.)
@diane_gerdy@georgejroy I think that it should be the parents decision on whether they are on social media or not and with school assignments incorporating social media that puts the parents in a sticky situation.
@diane_gerdy@georgejroy Hi Diane! I agree with you that it definitely grows a community of minded thinkers and that we may lose some students if this is not how they learn. What are your thoughts on students at a young age using social media for school? Do you think it could be beneficial?
Part 3: @georgejroy#EDTE731SUMMER2022 believe that students at a young age (kindergarten-third grade) should be on social media. I think if we can find a way to integrate social media in an appropriate way for younger students then it could be more beneficial for young students
Part 2. @georgejroy#EDTE731SUMMER2022 and discuss what they agree/disagree on. Although there are a lot of advantages, there are some disadvantages. One of the disadvantages would be that this strategy may not be how a student learns and for me personally I don't (to be cont.)
