14.3 3) With the new information I've learned I will use social media to expand my knowledge on different topics and use it to promote work I do in the future. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

14.3 2) Through this course I have learned to always ensure my privacy is active on all platforms, how social media has grown through the years and how many different platforms there are and ways to connect with people on them. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

14.3 1) Something I found surprising during this course is all the different ways people and companies use social media. It makes you think about how there are so many ways you can reach out to people. #GNED1411

14.2 I believe technology will always keep growing and there will always be new inventions but I think the base platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. are going to still be the main forms of media posts. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

14.1 I think social media will continue to grow. I think it will be used more frequently in the future in many different ways. I think it will have a bigger impact on the way we receive news and become even more of an open space to express yourself. #GNED1411

Such an easy and fun way to support a great cause! Encourage everyone to go get a chocolate bar!!

[SickKids Foundation @sickkids]

Donor of the week @PurdysChocolate teamed up with SickKids to spread the holiday magic with the “Dear Santa” chocolate bar. $2 from the sale of each “Dear Santa” bar is helping to fund the construction of the new SickKids. 💙🎅 #NationalCookieDay https://t.co/APHO7cxtOR

13.3 I think using social media in the classroom can be beneficial as well as distracting. It allows a different way to do work and communicate for students but can also pull them into looking at personal accounts and can draw them away from the task. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

13.2 I think much like this course integrating social media for assignments and allowing classmates to converse through platforms can help more students to get involved. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

13.1 I have used social media for different educational purposes. I have used it the most for this class as I've been able to look into organizations, companies, and campaigns. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

12.3 I believe digital activism can make a real difference as it can reach so many more people. Hashtags allow people to search for certain topics and learn more about them. I think having hashtags helps people follow topics and allows for more awareness of causes. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

12.2 Much like the #MeToo movement the #timesup movement has made a huge impact in activism for gender equality and gender discrimination. These campaigns have created a conversation around topics, around the world that nobody could before. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

12.1 Social media is extremely effective in activism and advocacy as it starts campaigns and reaches so many people. I know I've seen many posts that encourage me to join or donate to a cause and share for others to do the same. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

11.2 Popsocket as a company actually started on Kickstarter in 2012 and funded almost $19,000. It is now one of the most popular cell phone accessories making over $200 million. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

11.1 I think I contribute to the participatory economy through reposting and sharing posts. When I see something interesting I want others to see, this can make a collaborative environment contributing to participation by others. #GNED1411

Whether it’s electronic or print, a SickKids greeting card is special because it does good in two ways: it’s a message of love, hope & support, and it’s a donation to SickKids Foundation. Support SickKids and buy your holiday cards here: https://t.co/YdA9uyuKjD ✨

10.3 I think social media was a big influence in the 2019 election as many people stayed up to date with information through media platforms and formed opinions through posts they have seen. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

10.2 I do not fall into the Citizen 2.0 category as I don't post anything related to politics or make opinion-based posts. Openness and transparency are very important within the government as it helps to gain trust and understanding from others. #GNED1411

[Emma Blyth @EmmaBlyth16]

10.1 Yes I think social media does influence when voting for politics. I think politicians use platforms to spread their campaign and if you agree with what they are posting it is more likely you would vote for them. #GNED1411
