Social Media Teens Learning The New Way
Spending time online may be compared to time from watching T.V. Most parents would agree that they do not like their children online.
Based on most recent studies by MacArthur Foundation show that Teens actually pick up great Social and Technical skills.
The studies show there are two categories of teen engagement with Social Media: “Friendship Driven” and “Interest Driven”
Friendship Driven
The concept behind friendship driven results help increase Social Skills of Teens with Social Networks by encouraging current and new friends online.
Interest Driven
The interest Driven concept helps Teens explore vasts information online both new and educational. By leading a free form type of expression, Teens will have access to outside communities normally not within the Teen’s normal realm without Online experience.
Social Media Vision
I can attest to this digital type of learning curve due to many reasons. One is the ease of accessing information on demand by either Google or Wikipedia.
Also by being exposed to tons of different expressions and elements on a daily basis can give your more access to become more knowledagble and give you the chance to explore and learn information on your own.
Most of the time, we are learning without thinking about it, for instance playing games or reading articles that your friends share with you may have high vocabulary words that are used and you learn from assumption.
Next time you may think twice on the idea of “Learning Online”
