Can 164 characters determine a student's admission to college?

I ran across this article called They loved your G.P.A. Then they saw your tweets. I saw the title and wondered what it meant. Curiously clicking on the link to see what the article was all aboutt. The article became so interesting because we have to make our students aware of what they do on social media can eventually determine their future. Teachers did you know, your students tweets can stop them from being admitted to college? College admissions can Google applicants names and get to know a student just by reading their timeline.

The article I read referenced to a young lady who tweeted some awful tweets during her senior year and the result of this NO COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE. In our classroom let's make our students aware of what they tweet can ruin their academic career. The article was written by the New York Times. To read the entire article click the link here
