Thing 12~Social Media Sites

I am new to all four of these social media sites. My adventure was looking at the headlines and then taking the tours of all four social media sites. I found the tours to be very helpful in what the sites have to offer. I read lots of the articles and was very impressed with the variety of sources the article have come from. I will be recommending them to the social studies department, as well as, students who are looking for current events. It is awesome to see popular headlines without clicking on all the individual websites. When I would look through New York Times or Washington Post, I would have to search many different tabs to get the political, world, or national headlines. This gives important news headlines with just opening the website. I can pick and chose which headlines I really want to read, fast and easy.

These can be very useful but it still limits what is important. Articles that may be important to some people are not as important to others. This does leave out many articles in the New York Times and Washington Post. They are good for looking for major national headlines but leave out your local information.

Will I continue to use these media sites? I will check them once in awhile but I still like to read my local and national papers. I don't have a lot of time to set up an account an then keep it active. I wish I had more time for that but my day is already filled with a million different things. I will recommend students to check them out when looking for a current event.
