This will be my last tweet, just wanted to say this was a fun course and I wish everyone the best on their exams!

Educ 307 has taught me a lot about how social media has a profound impact in our lives. I'm happy to carry on what I've learned and apply it in the future @educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

Quiz 3 was enjoyable, I felt it testes us well on the concepts we learned #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

@carson_con Bunnies. Or dogs. #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

@carson_con True! It depends on what the social media is being used for. We are fortunate to have all of these platforms to communicate with loved ones who live near and far. #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

@Julian16014092 @EducLaura I agree! I think that would be a great idea. Some companies have already integrated Instagram and the workers use it on a daily basis, like Punkpost (a card writing app). #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

@Julian16014092 Yeah! Then you can learn at your own pace! #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

@Julian16014092 To a certain extent. All social media may have some good life advice and hacks, but you still have to be careful of what you read and think for yourself if they make sense or not. #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

@Julian16014092 It has been very useful! 10/10 #educ307

I find myself often forgetting what I learned. With digital technology, we have apps to improve our cognitive skills and help us retain information. The app Elevate comes to mind. #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

Long-distance relationships have taken a turn for the better with the advent of FaceTime, Skype and other forms of communication. I wonder what comes next #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

I read an article about hackers using a software that tracks our keystroke pattern to decipher passwords. It's scary sometimes how much technology has evolved... #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

I always liked the term "digital citizenship". It means we all have a responsibility to use technology in a respectful manner. More people should be aware of this term #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

Interesting fact, the word "digital" came about in the 1st century BCE. It has Latin roots from the word "digitus", meaning finger/toe. #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

Diversity is a very general term. It becomes even more general when we apply it to to the online space #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

Online hate impacts all of us, and given the anonymity of it, this form of negative discourse is spreading faster than ever. One of the negative aspects of digital technology #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

When it comes to consent, I feel that the digital space can sometimes disregard that. For example, many website take our personal information without consent... yet even knowing that we are still likely to use them. Interesting. #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

Sometimes social media can be a distraction from education, but other times it can enhance it by proving sturdy groups and more resources. #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

Some say technology allows for more freedom, others say it creates the illusion of freedom. I believe both sides have merit, but it is up to us as humans to dictate how technology affect us, not the other way around #educ307

[Howard_Issley @HowardIssley]

@LouisVincentga1 I feel that online classes are much more flexible, but at the same time distractions are more abundant and there's an overall lack of focus that traditional classrooms have. It depends who you ask, but I believe traditional classes have more advantages
