MONTAGE

The majority of teenagers today are seen transfixed to their mobile phones whether it be walking down the street, in their home or even at their college. College is supposed to be a place of education, but nowadays it is disturbed by the constant student buzz of social media.

TITLE SCREEN – UNCOVERED…

A 2013 study found seven in 10 British teachers believed children were becoming more and more obsessed with social media with half of those polled believing the fixation was affecting their ability to concentrate in class.

We went to The Sixth Form College, Solihull to investigate this further (SIGN) and conducted our own research, by handing out questionnaires to students, into the effects of social media on education. Results revealed that 90% of our target audience of students use social media on their phones whilst revising. We asked more students at the sixth form college the same question.
