Social Media
I am starting a discussion with my students about Social Media this week. Here are a few interesting facts so far: Over 70% of my grade 7's have a Facebook account even though they are under the required age according to Facebook's policy. Many students admit to "friending" people they do not know on facebook. After a quick informal survey, it seemed about half of my grade 8's and 7's students have personally witnessed Cyber bullying in one way or another. We are looking for for short, interesting videos to discuss in class. Below are a few we have started with. I am going to encourage my students to comment here in the blog to get a discussion started.

On my facebook i have a bunch of people i dont know, i post where i go sometimes and have a lot of information about my self on my account. This makes me want to delete all the people i dont know so that my facebook account will be a little bit safer.

Once I got a friend request from a Mexican that I didn't know so I ignored it.

My parents allowed me to get a facebook account only if I promised them that I would not accept anyone's friend request if I did not know them. At first I didn't know why but after watching this video I realized that my parents were right and that's why I only except FRIEND requests from my FRIENDS or people that I know.

I have a Facebook account. On my Facebook I only have Friends I know. Also I don't have any persanol infromation on my account, i dont post where I am or where I go. I think its safe for people on facebook and have friends or people they may now. Also this is good viedo because it tells you what things can happen from adding people you don't know!

This video thing just shows you that it is not good to add people you don't know or else you can be in danger and your g-ma will have to jump out of a closet and shoot that creeper. So let's all be smart here. Ok, done. Bye:)

ReplyDeleteI don't understand how a Facebook friending is of the same level as having a carnivore in your home. And do posts about going to grandmas' need to include GPS coordinates for all listeners. There is a balance, and this is not it.
