Many of us have a social media presence — a virtual personality made up of status updates, tweets and connections, stored in the cloud. Adam Ostrow asks a big question: What happens to that personality after you've died? Could it ... live on?
As a Grade 8 student, how does having social media accounts affect your life? Does it benefit you more than it harm you or vice versa? Does social media teach you social responsibility or it causes you to be more socially insensitive? How does your social media presence affect you as a daughter, a friend, and a student? If you do not have social media accounts, what some observations do you see from your friends or family with social media accounts? Would you try to create one in the future? These are just some of the few questions that are usually associated in the use of social media sites. Answer these questions in two paragraph. Create your post by replying here. Just click REPLY then type your complete name as Guest Name then write your answer. You will then be directed to a captcha security check.Your answer may be in the form of persuasive (good at persuading someone to do or believe something through reasoning) or informative (providing useful or interesting information).
After creating your own post, wait for your classmates to finish their works so may respond and give comments to they have written. To give comment, choose the post of your classmate then click QUOTE. You may now write your reply to your classmates. You may choose a particular sentence or paragraph to quote from your classmate. You are required to give at least one comment to two of your classmates.
Below is the criteria for grading:
Content - 10
Creativity and fluidity of thoughts - 10
Quality of responses to other posts - 5
Impact of write-up - 5
PR: 30
Once you created your own thread, copy the link and submit using the Turn-In button in our Edmodo account.
Have fun writing and expressing yourselves!!

I think social media has affected my life so much in many ways. For example in my ways of communication I don't ask for people's numbers anymore, I would ask if they have facebook and if I could chat with them there. Having social media for me is a great advantage because it helps us socialized infront a screen or in the real world, we get to find new friends and get to share our experiences, the sad thing is that now technology is evolving so are the crimes in social media or the internet itself. One of the many disadvantages of social media is that we could easily be tricked because we do not know the person we are talking to, sometimes those strangers could mean good or bad. Sad thing but the truth is social media sometimes is not the safest place in the internet world. A piece of advice think before you do anything in the social media accounts that you have because you could be a target of those bad people in those sites.

I think that social media as a whole has affected me in different ways but more on positive effects. this definitely teaches me to be more responsible online especially because we all have a habit of posting how we feel or what we're doing and considering that a lot of people will be able to see what we post, there is a higher risk of other people stalking or targeting you as a victim of specific online related crimes. we have to be careful because there are a lot of people with bad intentions online and posting something about yourself can harm not only you but the people around you too.
Social media as a student, helps me in ways like getting the homework from my friends online or having forums like this in able for you and other people to collaborate in school related activities. As a friend, i am able to see what my other friends are up to, and talk about.i am able to share to other people how i feel and
what i have been recently doing. As a daughter, considering my mom travels a lot, social media helps me to talk to her while she is abroad or not at home.

I think that social media has affected me and my life in many different ways. It does benefit more because the ways to communicate with my family and friends are easy. But it also can distract me from important schoolwork and family time. Social media does teach me to be socially responsible because we should know that we have to think twice before we could post any information that could affect you. It could lead you to being a target of cyberbullies and cybercriminals. We have to be sensitive of what we say because the person you are talking to could be emotionally hurt. As a student in social media, in a lot of times I am distracted from doing my schoolwork, but I have easy communication with schoolmates if I ever need help from them. As a friend, when I have not seen a friend for a long time, I could have a conversation with him/her while we are far apart. And as a daughter, my father would not be in the house because of work. So social media helps me keep up on how he is doing and to tell him we are fine and if we need anything from him.

As a Grade 8 student, social media has helped me in various ways whether in the aspect of educational purposes or communication. Through the internet, we get to expand our network, know more people and learn new things that are not even taught in school or is in its curriculum. The social network is more of a benefit to us students and it has made us become more aware of the events that happen worldwide. But of course, we have to be very cautious of the dangers present leading it to a crime or something unappropriate for us. Example, we suddenly misclicked a link, ad or picture that has content not suitable for our age. Some mishaps like a child being surrounded by a dangerous environment, giving him/her bad influences, usually leads to the child being a criminal in the future. My social media presence affects me as a family member that I get to know more updates about what's going on in the family like my uncles, aunts and cousins that I get to report to my parents to know what's going on. As a student, it affects me in a manner that there are group works and through the net we can discuss more on our projects and be more collaborative in school works. As a friend, we get to bond more through chatting online and it is also beneficiary that in social media networks, we can chat for free without troubling with payments (Ex: load) and it is much easier online. Through modern technology, everyone can know more people and learn new things through the advance knowledge we have of the social network.  |

Social media has affected me in neutral ways both created an impact and has it owns advantages and disadvantages.This generation social media empowers an innovative way of learning which helps students to collaborate, be creative and productive in many ways. It benefits me more as a student because it helps me research widely on a given topic. Social media had taught me more to be socially responsible because it maintains my own privacy and respect others opinion knowing the concept of freedom of speech online this has unabled me to be careful what i say and not to support any cyber bullying act. Innovative world has created ways of expressing myself as a student, withought the internet students will have diffuculty in exploring new profound ideas and withought this they will inhabit limited knowledge

As a grade 8 student, having social media accounts will be helpful to me because it connects me with my friends, teachers, classmates and most especially my family. It also helps me to research fast and easy with my home works and other projects needed in school. Having social media accounts benefits me a lot than harm because it keeps my connection with my friends and family and it helps me to be responsible in all activity using the internet. I make sure that the location mode is not on and also i am very careful on what i am posting. As a daughter, my parents assure me that i am responsible with the rules of using the internet. Being connected in the social media with my friends help me to be aware of posting things that can affect their feelings and as a student, it allows me to know the assignments when i'm absent.
If i don't have social media accounts but my friends has then i'll not be updated with all the projects posted and i'll have a hard time communicating with others. If my mother allowed me to make a account in the internet then it will be easier for me to connect with my friends and family. There are also disadvantages in making a social media account like someone can get your private informations by just searching your name, so always make sure that you shouldn't give or post some informations about you, especially the technology nowadays has been improved and upgraded.

If I don't have a social media it will be difficult for me to cope up with situations happening around me and I won't be able to communicate with my classmates oftenly especially if I had questions that i literally don't understand.But not having a social media can be great, because you won't much get distracted when you're studyung and you won't be in your phone 24/7 scrolling down the internet.In this situation there are also some advantages and disadvantages.

as a grade 8 student, having a social media account had affected my life in various ways, both positively and negatively. Positively by means of allowing me to have an easier access to communicate with my classmates when we have a discussion to make or if a love one lives abroad, i could easily talk to them right away. Also negatively because at times, i couldn't help myself but to be on my phone for too long due to having these accounts that may limit my bond with my families and others which is something that should be prevented. I think it does benefits me a lot rather than harm because some school activities includes having research and a great example is Edmodo which gives us way to know what the homework or any school works our teacher wanted us to do. Social Media did taught me how to be a responsible user in the internet because i know for a fact that a single post or status that's inappropriate could offend others and basically my whole life would be affected.
These account have affected me as a daughter by giving updates to my family who does not have a social media account about the things they want to know about other family members or other interesting news. It affects me as a friend by being able to communicate with them at times when i need them and when they do as well and as a student by being able to contribute a lot of ideas as a group mate. If I dont have a social media account while my friends and family does i'd most probably be outdated. If i dont have one, I'll miss out huge news and might not be able to talk among my friend/classmate/family member easily and that would make me make an account. And yes, i might try creating a social media account because it would surely be an advantage for me, although there's a negative side of it, i'd be doing my best to be safe from harm in the internet and having my limits for me to bond with my family and not just stay on the accounts i made.

Some say that social media are the online technologies and practices that people use to share their opinions, insights and experiences. For me, social media is a very effective tool.In my life because I always refer to this in making my assignments, most specially the difficult ones. It always kees me updated with the current events here and abroad. I am very positive that social media benefits me more, this made me a more efficient and responsible student by not posting anything that can harm me or my family, at the same time not giving negative comments on others.
As a daughter with a dad working out of the country, I use this by communicating with him frequently. Several friends and relatives have their own social media accounts and their expressing positive comments on it. I will definitely create a social media account because this will make me a better person if I will use this correctly.
