I think this is a very social media app that should be addressed. I use snapchat but I am careful about what I post and don't feel that I ever abuse this tool. However, I do know that some people I follow post things that they feel is "ok" to post because it will supposedly be erased. What is posted on snapchat by these people could potentially ruin their careers in my opinion and I feel that if it is something you wouldn't post on facebook then you shouldn't post it on snapchat either. It is important to have this discussion with students too being that they likely use this app with their friends. I think it is vital that the students are aware that what they post is never truly lost and leaves a digital footprint that could potentially come back to haunt them depending on what it is that they post. I do feel that it is important to discuss the idea of a digital footprint and what it means and how it can impact your future regardless of which social media you use.  -Carissa McGuigan

I think that snapchat has more pros than cons.. I use snapchat but I am careful about what I post and don't feel that I ever abuse this tool. Snapchat is very popular today and I know many students at the highschool I student teach at use it. I do know that some people I follow from college and from the high school I attended will post things that they feel is "ok" to post because it will supposedly be erased. What is posted on snapchat by these people could potentially ruin their careers in my opinion and I feel that if it is something you wouldn't post on facebook then you shouldn't post it on snapchat either. It is important to have this discussion with students too being that they likely use this app with their friends. I think it is vital that the students are aware that what they post is never truly lost and leaves a digital footprint that could potentially come back to haunt them depending on what it is that they post.

It can be beneficial to compile our own resources i.e. blogs/articles related to education. This helps us to actively acknowledge what our particular interests are as we browse and what we personally find important. I like the idea of following blogs that curate content for you but sometimes our own interests can change and by browsing content we can evolve the content we curate accordingly. It is great that this tool will provide suggestions for you based on your interests also as it would keep the process more efficient. -Carissa McGuigan
