Access & Equity

Despite the internet being such a huge part of education not all young students might have it. For the student who doesn'tlive in a household with a computer might have to find other way to get it done. By only being a able to do it at school or a public library. It might make it harder to keep up with there peers because of the lack of access in their area. For those students and people living in a more rural area, it might make it difficult to get internet. Some rural area doesn't have access to wifi or internet. Making online sources research more difficult.

Social Media & Learning

Social media has changed learning because knowledge is just a click away. I remember when I first had small research projects in elementary school we would still have to find books for our research. I have siblings that use the internet for all of the sources and maybe the textbook used in the class. No longer spending hours in a public library trying to find the right book. They can literally find the information on most of their cell phones.

I feel like social media can distract children. There is so much fake news that is put out, it makes it difficult to know what real. I as an adult sometimes find myself getting caught up in the next fake new or new article that went viral. The biggest thing we need to work on now is making sure that we start to teach more related to social media younger and how to combat fake new.

Social media is the future, despite its flaws. I think the best we can do is trying to stay up to date and teach way to weed out the flaws.

Business and Social Media

For the younger generation, social media is a huge way that they reach out to customers. Most young teenage children I know have social media like Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat noow have sponsored post. Facebook is another social media with sponsored posts but not as popular around the teens that I have communicated with. These social media sites seem to all be connected in some ways because the sponsored post you see often seem to be similar to each social media. They also gear the sponsorships towards the people and sites you view within the application. It's quite crazy how you could have looked up something and put it in your cart and not bought it and it will show up in your sponored posted on your social media.

Business are also now paying influencer to talk about there ads. It helps reach out to the followers of that particular person. For example snap chat is so related to Kylie Jenner that when she talked bad about it there was a huge drop in there stocks. Influencers have huge role in what their viewers but sometimes they just show the sponsorship for the money
