Social Media has changed the way the people communicate. After watching the you tube videos and working on the wiki I realized that information is so easily accessible. It would truly be a crime for teachers not to use the internet.
Technology also changes the way teachers teach. I liked the you tube video that the students were taping the teachers. Teachers are so naive if they think that if they do something inappropriate with the students that it could not be recorded.
Social media can be used for good things and it could be used for bad. If the teacher restricts the students for using technology and social media it is only going to back fire. Teachers need to embrace technology and give students assignments that they can learn appropriate ways to social media.

Reform is Needed
In class the focus was pretty much that the school system is no good and we need to reform it. I truly agree that we need to reform education but how??? How do we make everyone happy and not leave anyone out?
School is helps students learn social skills as well as educational skills. I think that it would be a great idea to have kids learn the basics when they are young and then when they get older they can start learning about the career that the student wants. All I can think about is all stuff that I had to learn but will never really use.I don't get why teachers have to teach only the stuff that is going to be on the test.
I know I don' t have all the answers but I do think that we need to stop the way we are testing students these days. All I can think about is my dad. My dad was a c/d student all throughout school. He wasn't interested in the school. When he got out he started farming and now he is very successful. He is one of the smartest people I know but when he was in school he was made to look like he was dumb. If they would have taught him want he was interested in it might have been different.
Reform is needed.
