I'm curious how your kids collaborate with other students for schoolwork if social media is disallowed. When I was in elementary and high school I regularly used MSN/Facebook/etc. for group projects and study sessions, and from what I know today's students mostly use Discord. Having a student's Facebook group for the class/school was also very common and people would discuss assignments and events. Obviously the kids do fool around on those services but they also use it for legitimate purposes like how corps today use MS Teams.
If a student did not have access to those services I would not want to work with them on say a group assignment because it would be very difficult to keep things organized. I would not want to go out of my way to go to their house/make phone calls to keep them in the loop.
- mixmastamyk 4y agoKids don't use facebook. There is still imessage and school email, schoology, gsuite etc. No one is doing schoolwork over the twitter or instatok that we know of.
- digitallyfree 4y agoWe had an official school LMS/email back in the day too, but students didn't like using that for obvious reasons. Today (at least with the kids I know) they typically use Discord for assignments and the like. It's not as bad as Twitter and co. but I would still call it a social media platform.
