Exit Slip: Role of Media in Classroom

Media plays a huge role in modern education. Media influence range from social network to news and blog. I think it is really important that students have proper education in regard to media. Media is very powerful because it impose a type of control and social norm over not only students, but adults as well. What people suppose to look like, act like, and other stereotypes that may or may not be healthy. I am not here to say that media is all bad, its power can be used in the appropreiate manner. And when it does, the effect can be very beneficial. Examples can be using social media to spread words of positivity, hope, or motivation. However, I think it is safe to say that the majority of the media seem to have negative effect on the general population, whether its giving out biased information, or distorting facts. Hence, students should be given the proper training in how to interpret various information from the media.
