People have the possibility to learn in details about any subject but decide to spend time reading memes, sending snapchats and commenting on funny videos on FB. The internet is not to be blamed for its misuse: the users' choices of preferred content are. #EDUC307#lesson13 https://t.co/5nGvlXfeYg
@educ307schnei I got dresses and coats adds everywhere. I do not mind it though. I would rather see stuff I like than don't. It would annoy me a lot more to constantly see adds of things I don't like. #educ307#lesson13
@nishapatel_conu Also, children have not learned to think critically yet and are still quite naive. Critical thinking should be taught along with digital literacy. #Educ307
@nrjmsb I am sure it will become even more dominant. It is a very recent tool. Just think of how the TV has evolved. It used to present only a few programs per day at set times. Now we can watch anything at any time. #EDUC307
@brandon_sigal Watching news on TV is such a waste of time... You cannot skip the parts that are not interesting or that you already know about. Plus, the same news start repeating after a few minutes instead of presenting new ones. @educ307
@Skylar_EDUC307 I wish all professors and teachers used Twitter to discuss class content. I believe online debates and discussions would even be more effective than homework in high school. #EDUC307
Seeing other people's point of view allows us to travel in their shoes, understand them better and want to help them. Social Media is uniting the world. #Educ307#lesson12 https://t.co/TbWylkIozx

Makes sense. Can you think of any other problem? I would say teachers are too focused on grading and not enough on helping their students learn #Educ#Educ307
We cannot separate culture from art or literature. Disney is just portraying cultural aspects consciously AND unconsciously... until someone points things out to them. #educ307#lesson11
Was I the only one smiling and enjoying the movie scenes the Disney video presented even if they were being criticized ?☺️ Critique does not alter the enjoyment one gains from a story/movie/book, it only makes one more aware of its complexity. #educ307#lesson11
@mich_bourassa@isabelletheri15 I was not very surprised at this. Many languages only borrow terms in other languages and never really invent a word in their own language. They merely refer to the word in the other language.
@CBentivegnaa True. But the question is: will the movies influence the choices children make when it comes to pick a toy? #educ307#lesson11 But also, I think children will also look and imitate their parents when determining their gender roles.
Has anyone ever seen the study of white vs coloured dolls in which almost every child will pick the white one as the prettiest? Do you think Disney is to blame for this? #educ307#lesson11
