In order to create a safe browsing environment, we need to educate our students of the danger and precautions they can take when accessing social media. We can also have a restriction to only educational social media like Edmodo while at school to create a safer environment.
Here is a video that we can show kids on how to be safer on the internet.

That was, until I heard about edmodo. I think that sources like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. have no place in the classroom, but edmodo could be a very healthy and handy source to use for classroom management and parent/teacher relationship support. Being that I am not a huge advocate for excessive use of technology in the classroom, I wouldn't recommend relying on the social media source to heavily, but I do think it could be useful in ways like I mentioned above. ]]> 2019-11-03 20:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelaball1711/tbba7xqv1s4e/wish/405961782 sierrasleach2 https://padlet.com/michaelaball1711/tbba7xqv1s4e/wish/408407125 I agree with Liz Corbett. Until I learned about edmodo, I never would have recommended that social media be allowed in the classroom. ]]> 2019-11-07 22:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelaball1711/tbba7xqv1s4e/wish/408407125 gabbysisk https://padlet.com/michaelaball1711/tbba7xqv1s4e/wish/408828821 I think for the sake of my own sanity, I would not want my students to be on their social  media during class. Speaking from experience, the biggest distraction  for me in class would be getting on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. I would rather keep the technology use focused on activities and resources used for learning material focused around the classroom content instead of social media.]]> 2019-11-08 19:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelaball1711/tbba7xqv1s4e/wish/408828821 drbertuca https://padlet.com/michaelaball1711/tbba7xqv1s4e/wish/409327956 Social media on students' personal devices shouldn't be allowed during class, because the bullying, self comparison, and exposure to inappropriate content is the reason children are growing up so fast and suicide rates are higher than ever. It would also distract the students from learning and potentially cause problems between them. Here is a website showing the effects of social media on children and their statistics.]]> 2019-11-11 06:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelaball1711/tbba7xqv1s4e/wish/409327956 nstevens091294 https://padlet.com/michaelaball1711/tbba7xqv1s4e/wish/412503133 I do not think social media is safe for students to use in the school. I think it is a major distraction and could hurt the students more than help. ]]> 2019-11-18 03:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/michaelaball1711/tbba7xqv1s4e/wish/412503133
