@alexiaroya Exactly, technology has become so essential to our personal and business lives that it will have to be incorporated with education in a big way.

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

@ESmith_307 I agree! Super interactive

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

@amily_educ307 Of course. Children are too innocent to know what a stereotype even is.

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

@JustineYelle @MelendrezMars Very true

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

@gouskos307 I agree. The older generations need to be caught up with the latest tech as it evolves.

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

Exactly. I am the same

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

Probably not.

[Lukas @LukasEDUC]

Will you continue using Twitter after this course is concluded?

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

I wouldn't say completely different but definitely a little.

[Lukas @LukasEDUC]

Do you think your online personality is completely different from your real one?

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

#lesson9 Schools have more access to your information than you could ever imagine. Would you feel safe knowing your school is possibly selling your information for a profit?

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

#lesson9 Do you believe it is ok for schools to monitor your privacy? Why or why not?

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

The worst issue has to be the selling of private information to 3rd party companies.

[Sabrina Stefany Garceau @SabStefGarceau]

What do y’all think is the worst issue with technology/social media when it comes to privacy? #lesson9

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

What are your opinions on privacy? How much do we really control? Can this be changed?

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

I don't think so. Social media will always be controlled by someone and people are always looking to gain more power and it is very easy for them to sell the information of their users for a profit.

[Sabrina Stefany Garceau @SabStefGarceau]

Would it be possible to ever full gain privacy on social media? If so, how would you do it? #lesson9

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

I am not sure if they have people listening at all times because that would cost too much money. But I believe if they wanted to listen to you, they could very easily.

[Sabrina Stefany Garceau @SabStefGarceau]

Do y’all think the government has people listening to our phone calls? #lesson9

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

And especially with a country like North Korea where they have a totalitarian dictatorship which sensors even the slightest criticism of their leader.

[Sabrina Stefany Garceau @SabStefGarceau]

Do you think the government can block stuff off of social media? Like how does North Korea have almost no social media or technology to contact others? How is it possible to have such a control #lesson5

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

Of course. North Korea limits internet access across the entire country. Same as when you drive in a rural area, your connection weakens. But in North Korea and many other countries like that, it is limited or unaccessible in most if not all of the country.

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

Yes, we live in a scary world. They make you think they care about you and your data but will sell it for 1$ to any company that asks.

[Amin Bensissaid @_Amin_Ben]

Crazy to think that the social media platforms, who advertise their desire for people to be more connected, are actually the ones who are proponents of selling our data for a quick buck.

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

I agree. Schools shouldn't have the right to access your private information.

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

I do not. Unless it is for sports trades/updates lol

[Lukas @LukasEDUC]

Does anyone use Twitter outside of this class? If so, what are some benefits it brings you?

[Coby Birenbaum @CobyBirenbaum]

I agree. Using online platforms to engage students is the way we are heading.
