Summary | It is important to involve parents in their children's education so that it continues after school is over. A way to do this is to assign homework that involves parents or involve parents in a school day. However, not all parents have time for this because they work a lot. Another way to keep parents involved in their children's schoolwork is sharing it with them on social media. There are programs to share photos or classwork videos with parents.

Summary | According to a study, seniors (64+) prefer using WhatsApp and Facebook because they can connect with their grandchildren. Also, using new media make them feel young and modern. With social media, seniors feel active and integrated. However, they don't choose social media to have more relationships; most of them already are very social offline. They like WhatsApp a lot because they can create groups (family, friends, etc.) and keep in touch with everyone. They also like the fact they can stay in touch with their grandchildren and share pictures with them. Seniors like to communicate using memes, videos, and images; it is actually more difficult for them to write.
