How does social media
and the internet affect school?
In today’s world, everyone is connected all the time and
that carries over into the classroom. Many students might seem disconnected
from learning and only be interested in their phones, which takes away from
their time to do homework and study. They might only rely on the internet to
give them answers and take advantage of the accessibility. Since social media
isn’t going to go away any time soon, there have to be ways to get around the
negative parts of social media.
There are negatives to having social media in all aspects of
life, but there are many ways that it helps us and makes life easier. Very young
students will use social media, as well as older students. Not to mention all
of the people that can now attend college online and work classes into their
busy lives. Teachers now have to learn how to use and control the use of the
internet and social media during school. Now students can collaborate inside and
outside of school and we no longer need to meet in person to finish projects. Discussion
can occur at any time and it is easier to get in contact with fellow students
when it is needed. Teachers also use social media to connect with students
about assignments and upcoming due dates, and with parents to keep them in the
loop. Social media allows us to learn quicker and learn more about our world
than before, and it will continue to evolve and take us even farther in the
future.
