Since the internet is so well-developed in the 21st century, we can't forbid our students to use the social networking services. I think what we need to do as a teacher is to teach our students how to use those social networking services properly. I think underage students using social networking services has been an issue for a while. I remembered when I was about 13 or 14, I had curious on a lot of things, that time was when the internet started to become more popular. All I wanted to do after school was browsing the internet. Of course, there were something as an underage students should not see. But somehow I did, because it was an ad poped out when I was searching for something funny.
Nowadays, since Facebook is so popular, everyone literally has an account. But I think there is a age rule so that they can prevent underage students to sign up? Even so, who will actually follow that rule? We all know that teenagers like to break the rule and challendge it. So, how can we prevent this happen? I think we have to start from the basics. I think we can create some mini lessons to teach our students how to use social networking services properly, not just simply tell them "you can't do this" or "don't do this". Instead, we should give them some reasons why they shouldn't do that.

Reflection on teaching OR project
Did you learn about your teaching style in the OR project? - Discuss your teaching strengths and weaknesses from this on blog.
After teaching technology to someone for this project, I think I have a different view of my teaching style. Usually I think teaching is really not a hard thing to do when I was teaching back at home. I think I am really good at teaching subject such as math, Chinese, and English to a group of students. But I have learned a lot from teaching someone how to use technology. I think it was a bit hard for me to do it when I was preparing for this project. I could teach myself how to use a technology pretty easy and I learn fast. When I was creating the handout, I found it was hard for me to write steps for the technology I was going to teach because I didn't if the handout I made was understandable for someone.
I think my strengths of teaching are: I can deal with a group of students and help them with their questions in class, create good activities in class for different subjects, deal with different situations which may happen in a sudden during class. Those are things I can do really well when I am teaching. My weaknesses of teaching are: I don't really to teach younger age students like first and second graders, because I don't which subject is too easy and which is too hard for them, and sometimes I have a hard time to understand students' questions in class.
Overall, I think I learned a lot from this project. This project helped me to make sure my teaching style is good for people. I think teaching how to use technology is way different from teaching subjects such as math in school because you need to self-taught yourself and do a lot of research. There is no teacher manual for you to use in teaching technologies especially when the technology you are going to teach is really new.
