Blocked!

Blog Post #5

Internet is a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication. The internet includes educational, governmental,  and other networks. Internet is useful for students when it comes with searching up things and students get help for their assignments online.

I think students and teachers should be allowed to access sites and services because it is helpful for us, students can learn from the sites if they need help for their work.

Student Sending Text Message On Mobile Phone In Class

If our school board blocked services like Snapchat or Instagram, I think that the students are going to be more productive for doing work. But at the same time, there's a problem when it comes with the group works, some students are using social media sites like Instagram. Some students are communicating through DM (Direct Message) and do their work there. 

The comments in the article are actually true, that students should pay more attention in class because Instagram, Snapchat and Netflix are not even that helpful to students and it is a distraction for us. There's no educational value could Snapchat, Instagram and Netflix possibly have. Students are supposed to listen to our teachers and learn, not to communicate with your friends in social media sites during class.

Twitter Wars - How Far is Too Far?

Blog Post #4 

Twitter is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact with messages which is "tweets" restricted to 140 characters. Twitter is the place to find out about what's happening in the world right now.

After reading the article about the tweets between the Toronto woman and man getting into a battle, it was unbelievable. Honestly, like I didn't know that there are people that having personal arguments in social media. The wrong thing about it, is they were having arguments in front of the people and all of the people who are using twitter.

Guthrie and Elliot were both wrong. First, because Elliot kept on tweeting about Guthrie even though he knew that Guthrie blocked him.  Second, Guthrie called Elliot a narcissist, a waste of carbon and a serial Twitter harasser. So basically, it was all about revenge.


I think people just have to be more careful about what they are posting, like if you know that you'll hurt someone's feeling or if you know that you might affect someone, you should not post or tweet about it because people around you can judge you and of course, you don't want to get some "haters" or enemy in social media. 


You should think twice before shaming anyone in social media because you don't know how sensitive people are, and they might put it in court and punish you. But I think if the posts are getting too personal, it might lead you to the court and get punished by the law.
