Made by Bart Bakker How is social media helpful for students and teachers?Social media helps students and teachers to communicate with each other fastly. The teacher can inform the students with an abrupt change. As example: in my first class, our PE teacher informed us throught Twitter if we had PE inside or outside, cause not everybody had Twitter someone also messaged it throught WhatsApp. That way we knew where we had to be. Social media helps you with being at the right place and the right time. This is in particular handy for students that have to come from far.
Made by Kasper Kuiken What is the impact of the social media on students and teachers?Through social media are a lot of students and teachers during breaks and free time on their mobile phone, computer or iPad. All our teachers have got an ipad. With their ipad they can put your grades on a special website or they can connect to a smartboard. Some young people are addicted to their mobile phone, computer or iPad. That people sometimes spend so much time on social media that they leave school, lie and then they often get low grades. Almost everyone has got a mobile phone with WhatsApp. This gives you some profits for example if you do not know anything for your school, you can ask it your classmates by WhatsApp. With Instagram you can take pictures and show to all your friends. There can also be funny films between them.
Made by Twan Veurink Postive and negative sides of social mediaThe most mentioned positive side of social media is of course communications. People can have contact with others at a great distance from each other. They often have family living in distant countries. Through social media, they can come into contact with each other. Another positive side is that you can develop knowledge by using social media and can learn from it while you aren’t looking for something.
Social media also has its drawbacks. A big negative side of social media is sometimes even your own privacy. You can if you google your own name, encounter things about yourself that others can see also. Not everyone thinks before they post something about someone on social media. Another negative side is that you can become addicted to social media. That allows for stress. In addition, not all the information that you can see on social media is true. Made by Kaj van der Heide How do social media help students and teachers feel connected with their school and the people they know?In our school everybody has a smartphone. We are chatting whit each other by WhatsApp our Facebook. We feel connected with people all over the world. But we don’t know how this is by our teachers, so I interviewed some teachers. For example we take our tutor, miss de Ruiter. She likes to see people on Facebook what her friends are doing. Social Media helps us to feel connected with each other in our school. In our class we have got a groups app with our tutor and a groups app without. And if we want to ask something about school we can ask it her by WhatsApp and we can also mail other teachers. I think social media is the most handy thing to communicate with each other and maybe also the funniest thing.
