annotated bibliography

My digital story mainly focuses on the affects of social media on high school students losing scholarships. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/01/23/catholic-high-school-football-star-expelled-loses-scholarship-over-racist-sexual-tweets/ The article tells the story how a football star lost his scholarship to a prestigious school. Not only did he lose his scholarship he was also let go from his school because of his tweets. This will be evidence of how dangerous tweets are. http://www.stack.com/2011/11/21/high-school-social-media-mistakes/ This article talks about the mistakes that you can make that will make you vulnerable to losing your scholarship. This article I will use when at the end of the story I will talk about ways to protect you and be careful. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/20/caitlin-ortiz-molloy-coll_n_880837.html This scholarship talks about how simply putting rap lyrics on a Facebook post can damage your chances of losing your scholarship. This is similar to Andrew Coonfare because he did something similar. http://www.fastweb.com/financial-aid/articles/3478-some-scholarship-sponsors-review-the-online-presence-of-finalists-when-selecting-winners This articles talks about how before giving out scholarships organizations will check social media. They check social media to see if the contestant is worthy or not. This is the factor that did not allow Andrew Coonfare to get the scholarship.
