Article Evaluation
I chose to evaluate the article Social Media and Education. While this is a good article, it could be improved in a few ways. Some points in the article about educators not allowing technological devices into school, seems to be out of date. Also, some of the links provided pulled up outdated sources and even the wrong sources for this article. With a few minor changes here and there, this article has potential to be great. It already has great structure and is very easy to follow. But some of the information could be updated to make it an even better article. Lastinfreeman (talk) 05:08, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Draft
Social media is evolving faster than many thought it would. With new updates in many of the popular social media apps such as, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat, it is becoming harder and harder to keep things private. Snapchat has a new update that shows all your friends on a map, including yourself. While there is an option to have your location off, keeping it on could be very dangerous. This is because people can see where you are as long as you are on the app, making it easier for lets say, sexual predators, to track you. Because these new apps have so many updates where your posts or snaps are out to the public, it can seem like a very unsafe place to be, especially for teenagers. Parents are usually on their kids about their social media accounts and how they post on it. Just to make sure kids aren't interacting with the wrong people, or posting inappropriate stuff on social media. With parents breathing down kids necks on social media, it invades their privacy, but at the same time it keeps them safe. Another application with privacy concerns is Facebook. Facebook is facing a scandal due to the lack of privacy with their users.

-Facebook Facebook users are in a rage because of the leak of their private information and posts on the Cambridge Analytica. Washington Post says that "The 87 million users who might have had their data shared with Cambridge Analytica were supposed to get a detailed message on their news feeds starting on monday. Facebook says more than 70 million of the affected users are in the U.S., though there are over a million each in the Philippines, Indonesia and the UK." Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and founder of Facebook, stated that the data collected was from in-app purchases such as quizzes and games, as said in the Washington Post.

Article draft
Lastin, You have three good sources so far, but you'll need at least four. So far, your draft is mostly common knowledge and not the result of research. Provide citations to credible sources for each piece of factual information. Also check for errors. The names of applications should all be capitalized.JAirhart 17:38, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback, I will take these remarks and work them into my article draft. Lastinfreeman (talk) 13:44, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
