@EEducates@tjoosten@Chelsey51526258 There is nothing "wrong" with passion. But, passion alone will not lend credibility to your argument nor will it invite people into a dialogue. Evidence AND passion is the dynamic duo if one desires their claims to be taken seriously and, perhaps, be considered persuasive.
@EEducates Part of the learning process is identifying what YOU consider to be a credible source and what your audience considers to be credible, which depends upon the communication context. Think about what criteria was used in other courses to identify a valid source.
@EEducates A general statement can be made but it also can be quickly and easily disproven. For instance, a person could take a picture of a family having a conversation over dinner. This picture would call the truth of the argument made into question.
@EEducates It could be argued that an overgeneralization is being made with that statement. The evidence I mentioned in the previous tweet is referring to data that can be validated. #citmgt650
@ShawnaJ41075467@Twitter It can be confusing at first. But, don't hesitate to crowdsource. Use our class hashtag and ask your course peers for assistance. Or, Tweet our class account and ask a specific question relating to Twitter so we know what assistance and support is needed.
@EEducates@tjoosten@Chelsey51526258 Erin, be cautious about making blanket and overgeneralized statements without evidence. Think about what we read in Rheingold's book regarding credibility. How might you enhance the credibility of your Tweet and claim?
@EEducates@coldwars@EEducates How is social media causing comparison that is different or counter to other forms of media, such as magazines, television shows, etc? #citmgt650
@EEducates I am curious as to the evidence you have @EEducates that proves the claim you are making: "lack of social skills children are growing up when." #citmgt650
I've started a small business and while this isn't as relevant to my long term professional goals, it's relevant right now! #citmgt650 https://t.co/SSLPJa8mi0
