Discussion of bullying, sexting, and peer pressure. Take inconsideration Tic Tok, Snap Chat, Instagram, and Facebook, most people log on their social media more than once a day, what affect does this have on our work life, social life, home life and life in general. Technology can make education easy or hard. Teachers work with technology every day to make it where students have easy access to homework and notes that are needed. Also, teachers are having to monitor students access to social media and technology which can become hard to do in the classroom. So, we discuss a healthy balance between what is allowed and no allowed in the classroom. Parents now have an even bigger responsibility than ever before, monitoring their children’s use of social media and technology. Let’s take a hard look at the consequences if social media is used in the wrong way. Technology and social media are not always a negative subject, there is a lot of positive things that can be learned. Interacting with other students’ discussion boards, listing homework assignments, and group projects. This paper will discuss all these topics and the advantages and disadvantages of what technology and social media has brought into the world in which we live.
