Twitter/Instagram and the Future
Twitter is the next great educational tool. Twitter is a great program that can dither the education experience. With twitter, teachers can tweet out homework and assignments to ensure that students get the information that they need. This can also be used to remind students about assignments to make sure they get them in on time. With hashtags, teachers can organize all posts and feeds, and it can make it so that the teacher can check certain posts without having to go on a students twitter. With Instagram, teachers can once again, post assignments and possibly even pictures, that will help the students with the project. With a picture on the internet, the student can always have the assignment at all times as long as they have their device with them. Like twitter, a teacher can access a hashtag so try can see a certain post, but not the students personal profile.
Certain problems can arise from this concept however. With the ability to view students profiles, it puts the teachers, and students at risk, for having their privacy invaded. Furthermore, other people can become aware of the hashtag and spam it, or fill it with material that is either inappropriate, or has nothing to do with the project, since anyone on the internet has access to that hashtag.
