@OfficerToth Thanks @OfficerToth !

@Mariah74594603 @domzemkosm @CommonSenseEd Like what? What would a young person have to experience before we're comfortable with them using social media?

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

Today, my class is using Twitter to discuss their answers to the following social media dilemma. What do you think? #MrReidSM Material comes from @CommonSenseEd.

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

Awesome look at first amendment rights for students and when principals should step in when they go too far. Great work, students. Great responses Mr. Maiorana!

The P.A.S.S.S. Podcasters discuss First Amendment rights with guest Mr. ... https://t.co/iBVDdXt6Zh via @YouTube

@_alexisduvall_ Research, research, research, research! And then when you think you're done researching, do more!

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

For my Social Media Students today: We've covered quite a bit in our class so far this semester! Choose one topic we've discussed and, using just one tweet, explain it as though you were describing it to a friend. #MrReidSM

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@domzemkosm @anthony_pittano Or, it's okay to form an opinion beforehand. Just make sure that opinion is malleable when you are faced with facts that disprove that opinion. #MrReidSM

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@toriiarmes I may be speaking out of left field with this, but I think this is something some high schoolers and even middle schoolers have trouble with. Trying to explain to young minds what is funny and what is not funny is tough for someone older like me.

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@anthony_pittano @domzemkosm YES. This is taking what we learn one step further. Good feedback

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@anthony_pittano Excellent work! Yes, confirmation bias is a tough cookie to crack for all of us, and the first step to combatting it is to know that you have it. #MrReidSM

When I see the faces of my sophomores after telling them they have first amendment rights while in school, it just proves to me even more that the first step to empowering students is teaching them they DO have a voice. #firstamendment

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@dthompson21_ Although I agree, what websites do you recommend? Because even if someone uses two websites, what if they are bad websites?

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

Question for the day: What is one source or method we could use to help determine whether something is real or not on the internet? #MrReidSM

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@Mickey6030 How does one look up "source credibility"? Do you have a website in mind?

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@ryleemcbride811 I like how you mention news stations! Yes, leaning on local news stations or newspapers will certainly aid in figuring out whether events are real or not. Just be wary: Sometimes the news gets it wrong, too. Rarely though.

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

An excellent strategy for when you are trying to determine if an account is real or not. #MrReidSM

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@aylaray19 Yup. Trolls have figured out that pictures that look good are WAY more likely to be believed in.

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@lacishannonnn Which ones would you consider are reliable?

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@mskip2231 @domzemkosm That is correct, and I think that's something a lot of media consumers do too much: commit to just one source of information.

[Jake Reid @Mr_Reid_]

@toriiarmes So CNN says one thing, and Fox News says another. Who's real?
