Watch out! Freedom High School is moving into the future! Over the past few weeks, some of you may have noticed different Freedom High School entities showing up on your favorite social networking sites. Twitter and Facebook are all abuzz with the latest Freedom High School news, thanks to the FHS Press and the FHS Bulldog Bark. Mrs. Kristen Milanovich’s multimedia classes and the Print Media Workshop class have now been putting their information on the web. In order to share information faster, the FHS Press started Twitter and Facebook accounts operated by none other than the FHS Press social media director, Morgan Greco. “Social networking is important because it helps spread our news outside Freedom High School,” Greco said. Facebook and Twitter accounts are easier to use and allow for a wider audience. More students are checking their Twitter feed than picking up the daily newspaper. These student-run accounts are responsible for keeping Freedom students updated on the latest FHS news. Facebook and Twitter give Freedom the opportunity to expand their audience. Print Media isn’t the only class taking advantage of social networking. Milanovich’s multimedia classes are taking to the Internet with their informative Twitter account, The Bulldog Bark, run by Milanovich’s Emerging Tech students. “Mrs. Niedbala actually came up with the idea when she and I were talking about the first bonfire getting cancelled and getting that type of information out to students, faculty and others who may be interested,” Milanovich said. “In today’s technological society, information needs to be instantaneous,” Milanovich said. Every social media site comes with risks as well as rewards. “People, including students, need to be careful what is posted on social networking mediums. Many colleges, universities and even potential employers use social networking to gauge a person’s character and integrity. It is important to always be aware of your surroundings and your actions in the event something is posted about you,” Milanovich said. Be sure to stay updated with the lasted FHS news by checking out the FHS-Press Facebook page as well as the FHS-Press (@FHSPress) and Bulldog Bark (@fhsbulldog) Twitter accounts.
