1. As a student, do you consider social media as a valid source of data for your
schoolwork? Why or why not?
Social media are interactive technologies that foster the growth and dissemination of
information, ideas, hobbies, and other forms of expression. However, using social media
as a reliable source of information for schoolwork is not recommended because some of
it may be falsified or manipulated. Books and articles from trusted sources are the most
reliable sources of data.
2. Does your school require you to use social media in your school work? Do you
think social media for school should be required? Why or why not?
The University of the East does not compel students to utilize social media for
schoolwork because it is not a reliable source.
3. One of the prevailing problems affecting students today regarding the use of social
media is cyberbullying. Do you agree or disagree? What measures do you think
school officials or parents should establish to address this problem?
