I think the future of writing will become increasingly bullet-pointy and fragmented, especially as our attention spans dwindle in light of apps like TikTok (I hate to say it) #FutureofWriting

[Britt @BrittB428]

With the future of writing prompts, I’m reminded of the Netflix show Dark that’s all about time travel- has anyone watched it?! Because it certainly has some interesting things to say about the future (but more re the government than the internet...) #futureofwriting

I definitely think that the benefits of online participation outweigh the pressures and complications of the “always on“ lifestyle because people forget that they can just turn their phones off or delete apps or just simply ignore notifications whenever they see fit. #315slides

I love this comment because I feel like it emphasizes that social media might not be problematic inherently, but rather how we use it --emphasizing that personal involvement/control

[Haajar @haajar138]

I think the benefits of online participation outweigh the negatives because I feel you can always ‘turn off’ while still reaping the benefits. I am always using the internet in my free time, and if I don’t participate I benefit from someone else’s contribution. #315slides

[Britt @BrittB428]

this is so true - it reminds me of when vloggers have to REMIND their viewers that they're real people who have bad days too...i kinda love how some influencers are saying social media is fake

@julesdiluca omg can't wait to read!!

[Britt @BrittB428]

My biggest takeaway was that although it is extremely easy to edit a Wikipedia page, it is also encouraged to cite sources. This is important because, as seen in essays, it safeguards against unfounded claims #ccom315 #315wikichallenge

[Vlada Vdovina @VdovinaVlada]

I’ve always had a skeptic all relationship with Wikipedia, teachers would ALWAYS forbid us from even looking at the site for assignments. They rlly made me think it was top tier misinformation lol #315slides

[Mary Lynne @MaryLynneCCOM]

My main takeaway from the Wikipedia challenge is how easy it is to make edits! If I see a typo in the future, I’ll know how to edit it and that’s an empowering skill to have. #ccom315 #315wikichallenge

[Britt @BrittB428]

My perspective exactly!

[Dana Martin-Wylie @DanaMartinWyli]

I use wikipedia in a pretty surface level way in that I usually just read the first couple of sentences in a wikipedia article to get a basic understanding of what I am looking up (thinking I do this bc its been ingrained in me that wikipedia is unreliable) #315slides

[Sophie Masson @Slendersoap]

Ok so if most of the info on Wikipedia is cited and verified why do teachers always insist it’s “not a real source?” Have they never seen these videos explaining how the articles are written?? #315slides

Body Image & its Impact on Mental Health https://t.co/r35GuNwYXY

So true!! Just quickly read, judge, and go on with life

particularly when i was in high school, i had the unfortunate habit of never reading past the headline. this type of information consumption meant i always knew *what* was going on, but i couldn't tell you anything detailed about it. #315fakenews

[Britt @BrittB428]

@LucieMurataj This is such an interesting and cool idea!!

[Sophie Masson @Slendersoap]

Honestly debating scraping my open letter to rewrite one to @virtualcasey and @eg_powell to thank them for the light work load this week because it honestly couldn’t have come at a better time 🙏 #ccom315

My open letter was to anyone struggling currently or who has struggled with body image <3 you're not alone #ccom315 #315openletter

[Britt @BrittB428]

I think that the cause for a lot of fake news right now is that we’re all searching for answers to offer some semblance of understanding and comfort..however as we’ve learned there can easily be more harm than good done #315fakenews

[Britt @BrittB428]

Another example of fake news...#315fakenews

[Britt @BrittB428]

I was not familiar with the fact that mis & disinformation have different intents..good to know #315fakenews
