In this edition of StudentSpeak, high
school seniors George and James report back on their social networking
furloughs (both tried to avoid social media for at least a week) and sum
up the lessons they learned from the experience.

So
how did it feel to not use Facebook?
"The
first time I kind of freaked out was on Valentine's Day," said James,
explaining that he usually uses the public platform to wish his
girlfriend a Happy Valentine's Day. But the day turned out OK: The
couple hung out and went to dinner.
George said he felt somewhat detached from the world when he stopped visiting blogs and social networks that keep him informed about culture, music and fashion. Social media, he added, is a "gateway that keeps you current." via Spotlight on Digital Media & Learning
