Social media in the 21st century has altered behind the shadows of Regina George. Americans use the First Amendment as an excuse for unlimited speech, however, free speech is not absolute since the Supreme Court has allowed certain limits on that freedom. These limits include clear and present danger, fighting words, obscenity, conflict with other important interests, and time, place, and manner. Today, many free speech controversies are centered in the use of technology including cellular phones, text messages, Twitter, Facebook, and email. These effects of online speech can deluge into schools, and administrators are responsible for maintaining an appropriate environment. They

“We have freedom of speech, but you got to watch what you say” said the comedian Tracy Morgan. And he was correct. In this modern world today, numerous students abuse the First Amendment. Over the media, students are posting comments, videos, stories, etc. about other students and teachers. These students are cyberbullies. The schools should be allowed to limit students’ online speech because cyber bullying privacy and dignity are important, it hurts feelings, and affects the school.

We all hear about what a teacher did on social media that was inappropriate all over the internet. But we never really hear about the good things. I read an article in Scholastic, about a teacher named Christopher Casal who a technology teacher for an Elementary school in Brooklyn that uses social media in his classroom and the kids are learning from it. Casal works as a technology teacher for the Magnet School of Math, Science and Design Technology. He has taught for many years and decided to bring Twitter into his classroom. Twitter is a social media website where you can make posts that contain 120 characters that can tell others in a few words are doing or thinking. Casal had the brilliant idea of bringing Twitter into his second grade

Schools and the public are wasting time and resources on the over-exaggerated issue of cyberbullying. Today, schools are wasting much of their time worrying about cyberbullying and in popular media it’s mentioned too much. Schools should not be allowed to limit online speech. It’s not needed since most students haven’t been cyberbullied, cyberbullying hasn’t been proven to be very disruptive and online gossip is not common.

Do students think they are free or not free? Us students think that we can never get in trouble when we do bad thing on social media in do it in our house. Which could also affect student or teacher education? There are new ways to interact with one another. But now it's causing lots of bad things like cyberbullying.

Evidence of this is, on June 13th, 2011 a student going by the name J.S was suspended for creating a MySpace account where she posted hurtful statements using vulgar language about her middle school principal. The day after she made the account, rumblings in the hallways began to happen and students began discussing the profile during class time. This evidence helps explain why school should limit student’s online speech because if profiles like these keep being created in class, because there's no limit to what students can and cannot say then students will continue talking about them during class and that could cause bigger discussions and all of those conversations will lead to no learning getting done during

Students’ online speech has been a problem in some schools. Online speech is when we post something on social media. Some people think that schools should limit students online speech while others think that they should not limit their online speech. Schools should limit students online speech because it violates civil rights laws,students are the people who cyberbully the most, and many people are affected by cyberbullying. One reason students’ online speech should be limited is because it violates civil rights laws.

Duff, White & Turner, LLC “ Schools Should Punish Students for Misuse of Networking sites” (Document D). If Schools have dealt with a number of incidents concerning improper use of internet sites should be banned. I believe school computers should be used only for homework and school purposes. The internet being an open network, which includes big Social Networking sites such as Myspace and Facebook of course students are going to pay more attention to that. Schools should restrict all those websites , although there are ways around in which students use to bypass. Schools around the United States have entered into an education code in which it authorizes to expel, suspend, or removal of school. Even though some students might say the school can't get into what they do after or outside of campus.

Stacy’s situation is just one of many recent cases in which aspiring and practicing educators have faced unfortunate consequences because of the way others perceive the use of social networking tools such as MySpace and Face book. (Carter, Foulger & Ewbank, 2008). ” (www.pbworks.com, page 1)

According to the Ethical and Legal Considerations, “There are three ethical issues related to school professionals and social media”. The first issue is the relationship between the student and faculty and the boundaries that follow it. “School counselors develop beneficial relationships with students that facilitate the students’ opportunity to grow and develop through interactions that support their academic, personal/social, and career development.” (Mullen, 9) The teacher may form a bond with their student but it would be inappropriate to post pictures with that student as one would normally do with a friend from their personal life.

Many students agree that social networking is an essential tool in education today. Feedback has become a vital tool amongst students and teachers in networking whether it’s Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter (Carey, n.d.). In a recent study, it stated that 59% of students who belong to “social networking sites” admitted that when there on the Internet they explore topics to communicate about such as college preparation and occupations.

Because adolescents are growing up with more access to social networking, texting and instant messaging on various sites have become prime means of communication. While this is not necessarily bad, many people feel the need to over-share things about their personal lives online. More and more people are using Facbeook and more and more employers are using Facebook to scope out potential employees. If there are inappropriate pictures and comments all over someone’s Facebook page, they are more likely to not receive the job. Some students get in trouble for things they post on Facebook and Twitter. Some users are beginning to notice this and have started deactivating their accounts to regain a sense of privacy. CNN’s article “The anti-social network: Life without Facebook”, states that some students who are trying to maintain a professional image for future employment are deleting their pages.

Social Networking is the use of websites such as Facebook, MySpace,Twitter,LinkedIn, and classmates.com to communicate with other users (Hampton). On social media like these,users are able to develop biographical profiles as well as communicating,researching, and also sharing photos, links, videos,music, and more.
