A3: I was surprised by the concept of using social media as a primary sources in academic tasks. I honestly never would have considered this...probably would have done my students a disservice by not taking seriously their primary mode of news access.

@lprewandowski @KatharineGadwah Yes, this opened my eyes to yet another way inequities exist in our educational system. Glad to have this new perspective.

@pgarrity @MsBetsyMcCombs @cait_ben @KatharineGadwah @Ntenters Yes and I'm not sure many users of social media are aware of this. This is one of the dangers of social media that we should educate students on.

A2 I was fascinated to learn the history behind fake news and a little bit about the psychology behind why we hold on to our beliefs. I think making students aware of these two things might help them re-examine their own beliefs and biases
