An example in the media of how technology is powerful and has a great influence on the public is Balenciaga's most recent campaign which depicted ideas of child slavery, blew up on social media and decreased their sales right away. #lesson5

What are different ways you think cyberbullying could be diminished? #lesson13

Did it ever cross your mind that digital citizenship was very important before taking this course? #lesson4

I have witnessed students showing teachers how to properly use technology in the classroom. This goes to show how fast technology evolves and how the older generation has a hard time keeping up! #lesson7

There are way too many social media applications that should require a higher age limit. Did you know that TikTok for example has an age limit of only 13 years old?? #lesson7

There are more and more social media platforms available to the public that are invasive, but people will still give into downloading them. A perfect example of this is BeReal. #lesson9

Monitoring children while using the internet is so controversial and to be honest, I don't understand why. Children are susceptible to watching or reading things on the internet that are not appropriate for their age. I believe it is crucial to watch their internet time. #lesson9

People get so defensive when they hear the topic of feminism being discussed, but what they neglect to understand is no one is trying to say that women are superior to men, they are just simply asking for equality. #lesson10

Has anyone ever been concerned with the amount of screen time hours their smart phone shows them that they have used in a week? #Educ307

The biggest downfall of conversing with someone over the internet is the complete lack of being able to read their non-verbals. This is so important in understanding the person's message. #lesson5

In my opinion the most useful social media tool for the classroom would be Twitter or Discord. Students can easily connect with other students and ask questions and be part of different conversations. #lesson2

[Emily Colombo @EmilyColombo9]

Having the "freedom" to post what we want online is nothing but an illusion. Everything we do is monitored and controlled whether we are aware of it or not. #lesson5

[Emily Colombo @EmilyColombo9]

Posting along to a trend on Tik Tok is a perfect example as to how social media is so influential on the world. #lesson5

[Emily Colombo @EmilyColombo9]

I wonder what the world would be like if social media did not exist. I think about what a peaceful and influence free world that would be. #lesson5

Does anyone have a favourite Disney movie? Mine has always been Monsters Inc. I watched that movie all the time when I was little! #lesson11

[Emily Colombo @EmilyColombo9]

I just think it is almost evil for Disney to have made such prejudice movies targeting children with vulnerable brains. This is because they know their target audience is not old enough to understand how wrong this is. #lesson11

[Emily Colombo @EmilyColombo9]

@candelaciocann I agree with this, but thankfully Disney is coming out with more inclusive movies which explore different cultures such as "Luca (2021)", "Coco (2017)" and Soul (2020)". #Lesson11

[Emily Colombo @EmilyColombo9]

@ElenaS_Educ307 Yes! A perfect example of Disney releasing inclusive movies is a recent movie "Luca (2021)" which features culturally diverse characters. At least it is visible that Disney is actively trying to change the idea that they are close minded. #Lesson11

[Emily Colombo @EmilyColombo9]

@ElenaS_Educ307 Yes! Such an eye opening perspective on the world on Disney. I was so intrigued I watched the entire movie. #lesson11

The #LetHerBe campaign from #Lesson11 has such a powerful message to the younger generation. All women and people are beautiful in different ways. This campaign has an empowering message, this video is worth the watch!
