Social media gives people the power to voice their thoughts and be exposed to the diversity of opinions coming from all over the world #educ307

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

I think we take the global connection for granted. 50 years ago, people didn’t know how the other side of the world looked like and were missing out on amazing cultural diversity #educ307

The levels of Bloom’s taxonomy helped me understand that if I really want to be prepared for my future exams, I need to concentrate on the analysis and the evaluation of the material rather than simply memorizing it #educ307

#educ307 made me understand how effective technology can be in an educational setting

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

Do you think Twitter was the right platform for #educ307 or would you rather use a different form of social media for this class?

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

Do you think #educ307 would be as effective and interesting without the incorporation of Twitter? Would you enjoy it the same?

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

I really liked how #educ307 didn’t only provide us with theory and articles about social media but also let us practice it in an educational setting

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

Most of the material I remember from my high school days was taught using the higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy, where we had to analyze, evaluate, and create something new #educ307

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

Did you like the incorporation of Twitter in this class? Would you prefer other classes to change to a similar format or stick to the Moodle discussion board? #educ307

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

People feel invisible on the internet and believe that there won’t be any serious consequences after posting hateful comments. This is one of the reasons for the amount of online hate speech #lesson13 #educ307

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

Nowadays, you can see hateful comment even on the most wholesome post on social media #lesson13 #educ307

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

Technology gave a big visible platform to hate speech. I’m wondering if people were so explicitly hateful before the platform existed #lesson13 #educ307

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

Do you think that technology and the rise of social media created more hate speech than the pre-technological era? #lesson13 #educ307

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

Although it might be time-consuming, I think that writing and reading research papers is more beneficial than writing an exam. It gets you involved with the material and makes it more memorable #lesson8 #educ307

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

@Chelsea_Educ307 I agree. Most of the material I remember from my high school days is the material taught using the higher levels of the taxonomy

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

@Chelsea_Educ307 I feel more comfortable participating on Twitter. It feels more casual than a class forum discussion

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

@padar_educ307 I agree. You can see horrible comments even on the most wholesome post

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

I find Instagram to be the most “toxic” social media platform. It pushes the idea of perfection whether it comes in physical looks or lifestyle and you can rarely see something authentic on the app @educ307

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

@Alexand31420522 I agree. It is so hard to concentrate when you are surrounded by technology and so many distractions.

[Melanie Shpak @MelanieShpak]

@educ307_cass couldn't agree more! making them aware of all the good and bad prepare them for real life
