Social Media for Students
by K. Fletcher
Today, social media has become an essential part of an individual's life. From reading about current events to discussing a TV show's latest episode with friends, everything is now done on social media. A few years ago, only a handful of social media sites existed, which people hardly used. Now, the Internet is cluttered with social media sites ranging from those that let people share photos and videos to those that allow people to broadcast their thoughts and experiences live.
Today, social networking sites are very popular. This is because a large number of people have accounts on all social media sites, and they are usually online throughout the day. According to a survey conducted by a research center, 94% of teens use cellphones to go online at least once daily in America. Further, this research center concludes that around 56% of these teens go online several times a day. Most teens spend time online browsing through social media sites, reading people's posts or looking at pictures and watching videos.
One of the positive aspects of teens spending more time on social media is that they can be contacted at any time of the day. Modern educators are interested in integrating social media in classroom learning. Students can get in touch with teachers anytime if they are inquisitive about a certain topic or have questions about what they recently learned in the classroom. This also helps teachers know that students are interested and have been paying attention in the classroom. Teachers can create a group on social media and add their students to the group. They can post links and videos for their students and encourage them to share their observations with others. In this way, the entire class can view information with a single click. This can ensure that students are prepared for a class beforehand and that teachers do not have to restate the same information.
Social media can help students contact each other when they need help. Class projects, group assignments, or homework-related inquiries can be easily resolved on social media groups. Social media can also help parents keep track of their child's progress at school. Since classrooms are being modernized by combining technology with traditional resources, social media should be considered as a practical tool to educate students and spread knowledge.
HERE IS THE MULTIPLE CHOICE BELOW !!
How does the author develop the central idea that social media can benefit both students and teachers?
A.
by describing in detail how teachers and students can use social media sites to share ideas and information
B.
by emphasizing the fact that social media sites will be more popular with students over the years
C.
by describing in detail the current trend of teachers creating online classrooms on social media
D.
by emphasizing how students and teachers make use of social media to understand certain topics better
Answer:
A
Explanation:
its the most logical answer because the author does go into detail on the idea that social media can help share ideas and info.

Explanation: the authors purpose of writing this short story is to show that family is important. An example of showing this is that jerry didn’t want to put any money in for his dads birthday gift he wanted to get Ken Maynard cards, but then after when they stopped selling the card jerry felt guilty for not putting money in for his father.The theme is centered around choices that Jerry makes during the Great Depression. The story shows that you don't have to have a lot of money to be able to afford something that you want. If you are creative you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. The difference between the authors purpose and the theme is that the authors purpose is saying kinda of why he might have wrote this short story and the theme is basically saying that you could put your mind to anything if you just try. The theme and the authors purpose are somewhat the same.
PURPOSE The symbol is the white umbrella, and it represents what the narrator wants to be, perfect, pure, etc. and that would mean that when she throws it away she is satisfied with the way she is now.
THEME In the beginning of the story, the white umbrella represents dignity and fitting in with Eugenie Roberts, but at the end, the significance of the umbrella changes to the narrator's rejection to her mother. The white umbrella represents dignity and fitting in with Eugenie Roberts in the beginning of the story.

In the context of the text, how has America changed over time?
Answer:
Yes because if you think about it we have had a lot of change over the decades
Explanation:
Answer:
This is only a short answer space and your question is pretty complex. It also depends on your opinion. I'm sure race relations have progressed since King wrote his letter but I'm not sure by how much. I'm not an expert on race-relations but racial inequality still feels rampant in the United States. Schools, neighborhoods, healthcare still seems pretty segregated: not by laws but by social economic demographics. I think the United States still has a long way to go to realize King's dream. America has changed a lot over the years with more advanced technology, advances in the medical field, faster ways to travel, improved education system. Also the music has changed with hip hop having a heavy influence and the style of clothing becoming more urban, we have also come a long way from racism so there has been a lot that has changed.
Explanation: if this is not the way you want it explained, then i think that its best if you copy and paste the text from the passage they're asking for in the question. in my opinion in society today, it changed and decreased its progression in racial and political, presidential, and economic ways. we are recently in a battle with the white and black police officers who think they have the right to kill blacks and whites and get away with it, but, the mayor and governor and president changed these laws and things around. officers who are convicted with 1st and 2nd and 3rd and 4th degree murder are just now starting to get charged. as people are protesting all around the world, officers, and the people of the 1st Responders are hearing us people and are starting to have the ability to trust the ones who help the people around the world. on the other hand, the white supremacy voted for our recent and continuing president Donald j. Trump who was raised by his father who was apart of what they called the KKK, When Obama was in office, we didn't have these problems. these people around the world who judges he color of someone elses skin whether they are black or white, only reacts to the way their ruler treats their country and how they were raised. we are starting to get to the point where its going to get worse and get to the way it was in slavery.

This manuscript will doubtless afford you the greatest pleasure; but to me, who know him, and who hear it from his own lips—with what interest and sympathy shall I read it in some future day! Even now, as I commence my task, his full-toned voice swells in my ears; his lustrous eyes dwell on me with all their melancholy sweetness; I see his thin hand raised in animation, while the lineaments of his face are irradiated by the soul within.
