#Social #Media and #Education Raizo Rye : Today came across a very interesting article “Video halls, N Darjeeling” yes it was there and now the internet has taken a major part of that audience, but todays youngsters/hipsters are so better informed and can actively communicate across the globe due to the globalization of the World or can they ?? We just reached an accumulated 2 billion active social media users worldwide; this means that the effect of social media on our way of life and on our education is inevitable. One of the major factors of our life that got affected is our education, knowing that the majority of the social media users globally, range from the age of 14-29 AKA school years more or less Leave #COMMENTS #NEGATIVE #POSITIVE Negative Effects 1.Students are having a harder time getting to communicate face to face with people, and are losing their people skills, due to that they are spending more and more time talking from behind a screen. 2. The attention to details, attention to pronunciation and grammar, has declined drastically, due to that most of the communication that happens online is not proper. Positive Effects 1. Social media did make the world a smaller place, now we have more information, more knowledge, and have better opportunities to use it. 2. Social media improved our ability to absorb information, what would have seemed to be over whelming to someone 20 years ago is normal to us, we have an extreme ease in processing and we are evolving quickly. 3. Social media helped students have a better direction of what they want, now they have ease of reaching to mentors in the same industry and people already working in their dream company, and get a taste of what it is like, which was quite impossible for students 10 years ago. 4. Students got closer to art and design, and are exposed continuously to new ideas, and are given a big chance to feed their creativity. 5. A lot of the students were able to inform public about their issues – using social media which brought awareness and helped solve a lot of problems.
