For the first week in Psychology in Social Media class I became overwhelmed by the many portals of social media are available and the number of them used by my classmates the same age as me. I have chosen to refrain for using a large variety of social media because I would rather enjoy the scenery instead of my computer screen. As a result I have become clueless to all kinds of current news facts and announcements; however I have developed strong face to face personal relationships. I willfully signed up for this class to aid me in my education major for I have recently seen computers and social media powerfully influence students and the methods of teachings for teachers. When I start teaching I not only want to be with the times but I also want to know how to utilize any resource to enhance my students learning and understanding. I had no idea there are so many media channels one person can be on. From the Newsweek article by Clifford Stoll states “visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems… Baloney” (Stoll). I would have shared his opinion when Stoll had this published in 1995 if I did not see this World Wide Web expand and be at its every peak. I am new to this overwhelming knowledge of the plethora windows of media of communication. I can’t wait to see how I can apply media as an advantage to my future classroom!
