Social media has become a part of our lives. It is the communication tool that children have been brought up with, but it is still illegal(违法的) for a Canadian child under the age of 13 to have a social media page.

This is a shame when you consider the learning opportunities that social media offers. At our school, Vernon Christian Elementary school in Vernon, B. C. , I can see how it provides children with the chance to learn how to communicate properly and effectively. If they want their friends to follow them or re-tweet (转发) their messages, they must learn to write them creatively in an interesting and amusing style , attach (粘贴) pictures , and ask questions to invite a response. Students will learn a lot from the process.

Social media can also help students to sharpen up their writing skills. My students usually use the blog to keep a diary about something that interests them, and suddenly they appear to love writing.

So is it necessary to restrict (限制) students in the social media age? Not really. A survey has found that 59 percent of children have already used a social network by the time they are 10 , and 43 percent have messaged people they didn't know by the age of 12.

Of course, primary schools should care about the dangers of social media. Measures(措施) should be taken to protect students from the dangers. In our school , we have a social media platform with a teacher's dashboard (信息窗) where all activities can be managed. On one occasion, a boy wrote hurtful comments (评论) about a girl in a post message. After a discussion with him about why it is wrong to send hurtful emails, he was embarrassed and said sorry to the girl.

Over the past 23 years teaching in British Columbia, I have focused on computing. I therefore take notice of the bad effects of social media on primary students. However, social media offers learning and communicating opportunities to elementary students. More importantly, we cannot ignore(忽视) the fact elementary children are using social media. I strongly believe that exposing students to the social media will equip them to be wiser grow-ups in the future.
