Ellis Cofield III, Recruitment and Admissions Specialist for Student Support Services in Suffolk, came out to talk to middle and high school students on “Social Media 101.  High school students were allowed to use their cell phones to answer questions about social media. Using the four platforms:  Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.  He tasked them with answering the following questions about each social media platform:  When was it created? Why it was created? Who are the founders? And How many people use it?

Mr. Cofield provided an engaging conversation about the pros and cons of using social media.  He warned about posting things that stay online forever, and the dangers they can impose regarding future employment.
