3 - I will use this course to my advantage in my following semesters, especially to obtain information on different matters revolving around my program. I always thought social media was for random posts on things, but it can be used for so much more like education #GNED1411
2 - social media can be extremely helpful for educational purposes, that there are so many different opportunities for business and companies to use social media to their advantage, and that it can be used to promote good and positivity #GNED1411
1 - the most surprising thing I have learned is that so many more people use it than I thought. It is quickly expanding and evolving with society #GNED1411
I'm sure the more popular social media apps such as Instagram and Facebook with adapt with the progression of technology. An example bein virtual reality to make the apps more appealing and enjoyable for users. #GNED1411 14.2
I am not quite sure what to expect from social media in the future, but I am sure it is going to get bigger and better. I hope to see a lot more positivity on social media, with trends such as campaigns for important causes (eg. Bell Lets Talk) . #GNED1411 14.1
@AnjalBaiju@USATODAY I agree! it has many more cons than actual pros, one huge con being that it is a huge distraction and limits the students ability to pay attention during important lessons
I think using social media in the classroom has more cons than pros. It can be used to do group feedback or take polls, but ultimately it is a distraction from the lesson being taught and gives students the idea that it is okay to be on their phones during a lesson #GNED1411 13.3
Another way social media can be used is to educate is reaching out the younger generations about important topics. One specific example is how people are starting to use social media to educate those on how to vote or the importance of voting #GNED1411 13.2
