Social Media Era

Social media is becoming a very important aspect around the world. Almost everyone has a Facebook account ,a twitter account, live space and many other accounts. These social media sites made the people captivated with their mobile's and computer's screens. Even celebrities are now relying on such websites to gain more and more popularity . Justin Bieber is an effective example of that . Regardless of the fact whether we like him or not but this guy reached popularity through YouTube . Popularity is no longer a hard thing to achieve it's only one click away. Many people opposed the revolution of the social media sites and looked at its drawbacks only. Well I think that sites that can bring people together like that and that can grasp people's attention for a long time can be used in a way or another to regain the students' attachment to school and education. It is time for us to manipulate what we have and take a deeper look. Look across the limited minds we have and disregard the commonly known disadvantages and start to get these sites into our sides. Humans created these sites and they can decide how to use it whether effectively or not .. I say start using social media sites to regain students' love to school and learning .. Use them to motivate students ! we are in a new era .. the social media era and we (as teachers) should take advantage of that.
