B. THE POSITIVE SIDES OF USING SOCIAL NETWORKING

Social networking teaches students skills theyll need to survive in the business world. Being able to create and maintain connections to many people in many industries is an integral part of developing a career or building a business.

By spending so much time working with new technologies, students develop more familiarity with computers and other electronic devices. With the increased focus on technology in education and business, this will help students build skills that will aid them throughout their lives.

The ease with which a student can customize their profile makes them more aware of basic aspects of design and layout that are not often taught in schools. Building resumes and personal websites, which are increasingly used as online portfolios, benefit greatly from the skills obtained by customizing the layout and designs of social networking profiles.

The ease and speed with which users can upload pictures, videos or stories has resulted in a greater amount of sharing of creative works. Being able to get instant feedback from friends and family on their creative outlets helps students refine and develop their artistic abilities and can provide much needed confidence or help them decide what career path they may want to pursue.

THE NEGATIVE SIDES OF USING SOCIAL NETWORKING Many students rely on the accessibility of information on social media specifically and the web in general to provide answers. That means a reduced focus on learning and retaining information. The more time students spend on social sites, the less time they spend socializing in person. Because of the lack of body signals and other nonverbal cues, like tone and inflection, social networking sites are not an adequate

replacement for face-to-face communication. Students who spend a great deal of time on social networking are less able to effectively communicate in person. The popularity of social media, and the speed at which information is published, has created a lax attitude towards proper spelling and grammar. The reduces a students ability to effectively write without relying on a computers spell check feature. The degree to which private information is available online and the anonymity the internet seems to provide has made students forget the need to filter the information they post. Many colleges and potential employers investigate an applicants social networking profiles before granting acceptance or interviews. Most students dont constantly evaluate the content theyre publishing online, which can bring about negative consequences months or years down the road.
