With the use of modern technology, it has become much easier for younger children to access social media whenever they want, and one Tulsa teacher had more than just something to say about it.
Rather than trashing social media sites and requesting that smartphones, tablets, and laptops be banned from classrooms, Melissa Bour believes in educating her students. Although a teacher attempting to educate her students is far from abnormal, what is out of the ordinary is that she is teaching the dangers of oversharing via social media sights, such as Facebook.
The 6th grade teacher takes social media education to another level, demonstrating to her classroom of 12-year-olds how far an image or post can travel in the realms of social media. In the end, Bour’s post traveled across the United States, and as far as a few foreign countries, as people from around the world shared her post.
With teachers like Bour, that watch over students and educate them on issues that affect their lives inside and outside of the classroom, Tulsa is the perfect place for families who are looking to move to a community that cares.
