I agree with coach John Calipari when he said ''Athletes should have a social media''. I agree with that because athletes have a big part in social media. They should communicate with other people and the players on there team.
I don"t agree with coach John when he said ''Don't be on any social media if you only read the responces''. I only like to read the responces because there funny or helpful.
So till next time!

I don't support social media because people always say mean things to
people and it causes lot of drama that I don't care about and get into
it. If you are going to say something mean to somebody else then no one
is going to want to talk to anyway. I agree with coach Cal that if your a
negative person on social media you are a negative person in real life
as well. If you use it to be positive that's a good thing. An example is
when my mom is on facebook there is always one person talking bad about
somebody. That person says something nice to another person that says
mean things about people and then they person their talking about is
down because of it.
How does social media affect my life. It
doesn't because I don't use it. I think that's a good thing because I
don't want to get into the drama. I know I'm not getting into the loop
of things because pretty much everyone else has but I don't think it
affects anything in my life. I am building my brand by doing different things then using social media. I don't need social media to build my brand.

I agree with John Calipari when he said, "You build your brand or break it down." when he was talking about what you post on the internet. If you are not careful about what you post online it can help your life or it could ruin it either way good or bad, people are going to see what you post on the internet. It's your decision, you can post what you want it only changes how people think of you.
I am building my brand by posting good things when I post. Sometimes I don't post anything. I am really careful about what I post because I know that if I post something wrong it will ruin my life.
So please be careful with what you post. I don't want to see you on the street with no friends and no place to go. I care about all of my friends and I would be heart broken to see you like that. Think about what could to your life before you post.

This entry below will be about social media and how it affects me and the people around me and my opinion on what John Calipari said.
I agree with John Calipari that social media is not a bad thing but that you should be careful with social media and with what you read or even say on social media
because you don't know what you'll will read is going to make you feel
bad about yourself or even make you mad, nor do you know if someone is
going to twist you words or not. Social media says stuff about the bad and good stuff that happens all around the world. SO BE CAREFUL WHILE ON IT!!!!!
A lot of famous people like Pro athletes and singers get judged a lot more than regular people do on social media. I'm building my brand good because I rarely post things on social media and when I do it's for assignments in school.
Thanks for reading my post! I hope you enjoyed it!

I think that John is right because you shouldn't be told you can't get on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. You should do what you want but you are the one who makes your own decisions. If you do something wrong it's your fault.
Another reason I agree is because they could read the comments about something one of the basketball players posted it could be something mean or bad about their career and cause them to be overconfident. They might try and take a shot every time they get the ball.

Yes. I agree because something like Facebook can effect peoples life. Because if anyone says something bad or something mean. Then if your friends at school read it then you could be embarrassed.
If I were a coach I wouldn't want them on Facebook. Because they could get upset or mad from a Facebook post. Then they could get mad and not want to got to the basketball or football game.
Facebook , Twitter or Instagram is something were you talk to people and post pictures. All of those can get people mad or upset. That is why is some parents don't let their kid have some of those because it can effect your life.

Hi everybody! Today I am here to talk about the role of social media. I am going to give you my view on social media and talk about how I feel that it effects my life.
I do agree with John, I think that you have to understand exactly what you are doing and how safe that it is. I think that you only have to go so far with social media. I think you only have to do so much on social media places, I don’t think you have to read all of the harsh and harassing comments that people post. I don’t think that using your time to read hurtful and mean things is going to help anybody.
I think that it is OK to have social media accounts and to have fun and make plans with friends. I think that you should know how to use them the correct way. I think that you should learn to make good decisions though.
I don’t think that you have to take hours or even just a few minutes reading harsh or mean comments or posts to just be reading them. All that does is tear you down inside and make you upset, angry, or just plain out lost! I think you should do something that does make you happy.
John talks about building a brand, which means making yourself who you want to be. A brand that I would like to be is kind. I would like to be kind because people tend to want to be around kind people more often than mean people. I would probably be happier knowing that other people appreciate me being nice.
The way that I am going to be nice, or kind is listening better, being less short, and stopping myself before I snap or yell at somebody.
Thank you for reading! I hope you have a good day and enjoyed my post!

I am going to be talking about whether or not I agree with University of Kentucky's basketball coach, John Calipari about social media. I agree with the university of Kentucky's basketball coach, John Calipari because I think if you learn how to use social media properly, it is okay to use it. Just like coach Calipari said, " You build your brand or you break your brand down." I think you can use social media but I also think that it is important to use social media properly, appropriately and to make sure to use it in a good way. I definitely think people should be careful with social media. If you don't use it carefully it could change what people think about you or make it harder to find a job when you get older because you used social media in a wrong way. I think social media affects my life in a good way because I use it right. I use social media properly and use it in a positive way. Just like coach Calipari said people should use it. I am building my brand and using social media in a good way so people will see me as a good person. This is why I agree with coach Calipari and this is how I'm building my brand!  |

Today I will be talking about if I agree with John Calipari or if I don't agree with him about the role of social media. I will also be talking about if social media affects my life and how I am building my brand! I do agree with John Calipari because on instagram there are a lot of haters and bullies that could hurt people's feelings. Also a lot of kids my age spend too much time on their social media and put bad stuff on there that they shouldn't have on it. I think that people need to spend a little less time on it. Social media affects my life because if something ever happened to anyone in my family like someone had to go to the hospital and they put it on facebook or instagram then I would know what happened also my cousin just had her baby and I found out because she posted a picture of it on instagram. Also if one of my friends where getting bullied or anyone was getting bullied then I would want to stand up for them. I am building my brand because when I post something on my blog or instagram for example I always post positive things and nice things and I never say or do anything that is mean or sad because if people read those things then they would think that I am a negative person and not a nice person! This is my image on social media!  |

Today in Language Arts we were assigned to write about how social media reflects your brand. Or in other words how people think of you. If you're on social media and you post something rude or immature people who read or look at what you post are going to think you aren't very nice or mature. If you post something sweet like puppies and rainbows people are going to think you are just a bundle of joy! Before you post anything on social media keep in mind everyone and anyone could read this! I agree that social media is okay to be on but it's very important to take what you post seriously. You need to make sure that what you post is okay with you. Social media is fun and interesting. Yes, it is okay to be apart of, but you need to use it responsibly. Social media effects my life by helping me communicate with friends and family. Sometimes I get on Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat. On all of those social medias I talk to my friends and post pictures and comments. I think it's fun but at the same time I use it responsibly. I feel like I need to respect myself, my friends, and family while on social media because they have to look at everything I post and I want them to think nice of me. I am building my brand by posting nice and mature things on all of the social media that I use. Before I post anything I always check it over and make sure it's good. When I post things I want people to think I'm smart and mature. It's really important to check over everything before posting it on any type of social media! That is my take on social media, I hope you enjoy it! -Abigail P. |

Hello guys. Today I will be giving my opinion about social media and how I am building my brand. I hope you like it!
Recently U.K basketball players have been getting bad comments on social media. Other coaches are telling their team not to have social media because that can happen. Although John Calipari said that he thinks that his player's should have social media. He said that he post stuff about the team that they should know.
I 100% agree with John because I think that players need to have some social time and because they can learn off of it. When John post a picture, tweets something or puts something on Facebook it is normally about basketball. His players could see the good criticism and see that they need to do whatever it is every game. They could also see the bad criticism and see what they need to improve on.
Now here is how I am building my brand as a writer. At the beginning of the school year we had to write a blog post. My post was only 3 paragraphs and only about 200 words. I keep writing more and more as the school year goes on. Like when we wrote about bullying, I had 11 paragraphs and almost 800 words. I keep building my brand as writer just like that. I hope you liked my thoughts on social media and how I am building my brand. Have a wonderful day!

Hello everybody and today I will be talking about if I agree with the video about social media and how social media effects my life. One more thing that I will be talking about is how I am building my brand or how I am presenting myself to the people that are reading my post. Enjoy!! I do agree with John Calipari because if my coach said that I or anyone else on the team weren't aloud to have social media I would not like that coach anymore. Your players should have some time to get social media. Also Coach Calipari will post positive stuff about the basketball players and about the basketball team. How social media effects my life is... it is a waste of my time. Whenever I want to go do something I just sit there for a couple extra minutes looking at Instagram, Facebook and Vine. Social Media Keeps me from doing something productive like reading,playing outside and lots of other activities. How I am building my brand is... I am making myself look like a lazy kid because I want to get up and go outside but an alert comes up on my phone saying so and so posted something and then I want to look at it and then I get caught up in the other crap that on Instagram, Facebook or Vine. |

Social media can have a really bad effect or not really have any effect on your life. Some things that you post on Facebook or twitter or whatever can start a argument or someone could post something bad about you. I agree with John Calipari when he says you are building your brand. If you post something mean about someone or something then you are just making stuff bad for yourself, you could end up having lots of people mad at you or even having people hate you. They might comment something mean like saying that you are a bad person or other things. If you post something nice then people will be thinking that you are a really nice person and like you instead of hating you. Social media can be bad because if you post something bad or mean and then you go to a job interview the people can research you see the things you have posted,and they wouldn't hire you. Social media can also effect your chances of getting into a good collage. That's what I think of social media. |

University of Kentucky men's basketball coach,John Calipari talks about the role of social media. Do you agree or disagree? How does social media affect your life? How are you "building your brand?
Lately, the topic of conversation nationally has been how student-athletes handle and respond to some of the criticism they get by having social media accounts and being connected to fans. A lot of coaches and people are suggesting they get off things like Twitter and Facebook, but Coach Cal doesn't agree. I disagree with what coach John Calipari’s says in this paragraph. I think student-athlets shold have social media accounts and be connected to fans.
“Twitter is an opportunity — Facebook is an opportunity — to say what you feel, to try to pick people up, to try to be positive, to try to add something to society, to try to let people see you transparently,” Calipari said. “You cannot be defined, if you are on social media, by somebody else. You will define yourself. And if it’s negative, that’s your fault.” I agree with what he says in this paragraph because Twitter and Facebook are opportunity s to say what you feel.
How does social media affect your life. One way social media affects my is edublogs and the Question Of The Week board because I put posts about thing and comments about things all the time and also People can comment on the stuff I say so social media would affect my life when I put something on these sites and people see them.
How are you "building your brand?
I am building my brand because I am saying what I feel and I am building my brand which could also mean me or how they of me. Like if I say that I write angry mean posts then people would think that I am a really mean angry also grumpy person (which I am not) then my brand would be mean, angry and grumpy. Thats the role of social media.
