IMPORTANCE OF INTERNET/SOCIAL MEDIA

The internet and social media provide Young people with a range of benefits,
and opportunities to empower themselves in a variety of ways. Young people
can maintain social connections and support networks that otherwise
wouldn’t be possible, and can access more information than ever before. The
communities and social interactions young people form online can be
invaluable for bolstering and developing young people’s self-confidence and
social skills.

This will help you to:

 Understand some of the benefits of internet and social media
 Understand why technology is so attractive to Young people
 Understand the positive uses of social media and online spaces
 Talk to Young people about what they use technology for.

The use of social media and networking services such as Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram and Snapchat have become an integral part of Australians daily
lives. While many associate social media with a degradation of Young
people’s social networks and communication skills, a literature review
published by the Young and well Cooperative Research Centre found that
social networking services actually play a vital role for in Young people’s
lives – delivering educational outcomes; facilitating supportive relationships;
identity formation; and promoting a sense of belonging and self-esteem.

Young people as social participants and active citizens

Social networking services can provide an accessible and powerful
toolkit for highlighting and acting on issues causes that affect and
interest Young people. Social networking services can be used for
organizing activities, events, or groups to showcase issues and
opinions and make a wider audience aware of them. E.g. Coordinating
 band activities, fundraisers, and creating awareness of various
causes.
Young people developing a voice and building trust
Social networking services can be used to hone debating and helps
users develop public ways of presenting themselves. Personal skills
are very important in this context: to make, develop and keep
friendships, and to be regarded as a trusted connection within a
network. Social networking services can provide young people with
opportunities to learn how to function successfully in a community,
navigating a public social space and developing social norms and
skills as participants in peer groups.
Young people developing key and real-world skills
Managing an online presence and being able to interact effectively
online is becoming an increasingly important skill in the workplace.
Being able to quickly adapt to new technologies, services and
environments is already regarded as a highly valuable skill by
employers, and can facilitate both formal and informal learning. Most
services are text based, which encourages literacy skills, including
interpretation, evaluation and contextualization.
Young people as collaborators and team player
Social networking services are designed to support users working,
thinking and acting together. They also require listening and
compromising skills. Young people may need to ask others for help
and advice in using services, or understand how platforms work by
observing others, particularly in complex gaming virtual
environments. Once users have developed confidence in a new
environment, they will also have gained the experience to help others.

Young people becoming independent and building resilience

Online spaces are social spaces, and social networking services offer
similar opportunities to those of offline social spaces: places for Young
people to be with friends or to export alone, building independence
and developing skills they need to recognize and manage risk to learn
judge and evaluate situations, and to deal effectively with world that
can sometimes be dangerous or hostile. However, such skills can’t be
built in isolation, and more likely to develop if supported. Going to a
social networking service for the first time as a Young person alone
can be compared to a Young person’s first solo trip to a city center,
 and thus it is important for a Young person to know how to stay safe
in this new environment.
Young people as explorers and learners
Social networks encourage discovery. If someone is interested in
certain books, bands, recipes, ideas, it’s likely that their interest will
be catered for by a social networking service or group within a service.
If users are looking for something more specific or unusual then they
could create their own groups or social networking sites. Social
networking services can help young people develop their interests and
find other people who share the same interests. They can also help
broaden users’ horizons by helping them discover how other people
live and think in all parts of the world.
