Social Media

Social media has been something that indeed has affected many changes thought life. For teaching it has also been very noticed. In good ways, as well as in bad ways. For good ways, now we have more technology, which helps teachers have more ways of teaching. For example, when we have a music class, it is better to be able to listen to the music and be able to compare the different types based on what we hear. That is obviously something that could have never happened a long time ago, when music was not available in that way. This also has a very down side to it, not all teachings have to be technological. Sometimes it is better that they are not. For example, in an English class, if we have to do an essay, it is a lot better if we do all the research and find what we need to know by books. Now a days, there are even pages where you can download an essay that another person has made. Also, it is very easy to find what you need to know for essays in five seconds.
Because of this, we as people have become very dependent on technology to do the things that we need to do ourselves. This changes the way teachers do their job. Now they have to be more on the look out of cheaters then they did before. This is very bad; I think that some schools should really cut out all the amount of technology they use. Obviously, in some places they don’t use that much technological help as in others because of the money they may have. I don’t doubt that if they could they would, which is very sad because we don’t need to be so dependant on technology to everything we need to get done by ourselves. Now teachers even have us use our computers to make projects, which makes us not use our creativity and study through books, now that makes teaching completely different.
All schools thought the world should come together and change the thought that computers and technology are used for everything. I think it is ok for school to have computer classes, but not use technology for every single thing. We should be shown how to use computers and technology for future reference, but we should not depend on it for every single thing we need it. Almost every single student that goes to a good school uses the computer more than one time a day rather than read a book. For example, in facebook, most people when they turn on the computer go directly to facebook instead of doing their homework. The social media has had a very big impact on the world of students and teachers.
