What Kids REALLY Think About Social Media?

Hello everyone,

I came across this video on YouTube and was very much impressed with children's thoughts on Social Media these days. Children are so innocent and honest about their understandings on social media. Based on the video below you would be able to understand what children are saying about their understanding on social media.

I totally agree with Chloe as she mentioned on her blog that, 'I believe as educators, we should introduce our young explorers to social media and explain to how to use these social media wisely such as using privacy settings and the dos and don’ts.' 

Even though the world is very much advanced, children must be guided in their learning while exploring the social media world as the media world can be very dangerous and harmful towards children's lives. We should be there to protect our children as much as possible and that is what I see I am to do as an educator. 

Thank you,

Abigail

Social Media and Its Impact on Kids Today

Hello everyone,

In this day and age children are very much advanced into and occupied with the social media. It has a great impact onto children's lives that ICT is just at their fingertips and easy for them to handle. Soon in the future most probably children would stop writing using pens and paper yet they would be using the computers for everyday use in their lives. Personally I belief the writing and colouring using pen and paper should never stop in children's life yet keep using them because who knows one day ICT may crash down on us and we would have to start over all again with paper and pen. This is what I belief.

Thank you for watching.
