@Christinaciri8 Great point. By teaching students how to collaborate with other students in different regions of the world through social media, students may gain additional perspective as well as build new relationships. All beneficial things to students.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@talsjrdn That's really interesting! Learning about the "other" seems to be a recurring theme in human history that we simply have not mastered yet. I do find however, that social media definitely helps in this aspect, because of the humanizing experience watching their content can be

@mariacsorella I believe it is possible, as images and pictograms may be used to explain abstract concepts, or further reinforce a lesson by providing visual support for the students.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@mariacsorella Definitely! As technology continues to play a greater role in the classroom, I believe digital etiquette is an essential component of digital education that could not be looked over in the teaching curriculum.

@XGagnon40129579 I would say it depends which one! As well as the kind of information I am seeking. Social media is a wonderful tool for catching sports scores or looking for quick news updates, but presents itself as a poor outlet to read articles or find solid opinion pieces.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@bountounis_j Such a powerful point, John. I always think its important to consistently remain open to growth, and furthermore gain adequate skills to maintain focus while also being aware of the world around us. I believe such lessons should begin in high school.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@cusin_marco Great point. I definitely agree. This becomes so important as the rate of growth for technological advancement steepens, creating a larger need for such resources for educators.

@HeliaKeyhani I learned such citation formats whilst in High School, but really only mastered them in CEGEP.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@HeliaKeyhani Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, as well as the Globe & Mail.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@DeCarolisSienna I think it is easier to make friends on social media, but stronger, longer lasting friendships I believe are built in person.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@AdibAhmedChoud1 Great point - it is important to use critical thinking, as well as apply logic to carefully understand how the content is trying to make the viewer feel. Deconstructionist techniques are useful for this.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@Joey18800795 Great points. Do you think that the responsibility to bridge this gap belongs to educators or parents, or a mix of both?

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@LabonteKate Absolutely! Thanks to technology, this aspect of a student's educational experience is greatly enhanced!

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@LabonteKate I think it's acceptable to integrate technology into school at the youngest age possible, so that children learn that technology can be an educational tool, and learn how to use technology properly.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@sayagm_educ307 @educ307 I would have to say Twitter!

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@sayagm_educ307 Right! It's so difficult to imagine the era when children didn't have phones, now it seems all ages of students are connected to their digital devices.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@sayagm_educ307 @educ307 Definitely, it has transformed my educational experience in university and definitely assisted my learning, especially during pandemic times, when learning was done remotely.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@CamiliaDemanins I would say I learn more from writing papers, but ultimately it would depend on the topic at hand. Whilst studying law, a research paper would be more appropriate to be able to translate the content into learning, while if one is studying Java Script, a test may be more useful

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@CamiliaDemanins Definitely. Social media is the best way to attract engagement from a wide variety of demographics and population groups, all at a relatively lower cost than a professionally coordinated marketing campaign.

[Noah @NoahEduc307]

@MarthaKotso An interesting point you bring up. I believe it is the parents responsibilities to verse themselves in the do's and don'ts of technology, and ultimately learn the best practices through experience.
