@JakeBatista11 I agree. Gov Murphy has a prominent social media presence which makes it easier to stay connected to the news. This is especially helpful when it comes to COVID-19 updates, and the new precautions our state is taking to prevent the spread of it. #LIDC07857

@jms1093 @BarackObama I agree that Obama is very self-aware & uses his knowledge to connect with his audience more efficiently. Him mentioning things like the renegade challenge & finstas proves that he's in tune with younger generations. #LIDC07857

@Camila45300946 Hey Camila! I agree that AOC‘a social media presence is constantly inspiring others to do better. As a young Latina, I admire how forthright & authentic she has remained while working in congress . #LIDC07857

...but Alicia Garza has utilized social media to spread awareness & gain more public attention through hashtags like #BLM

@aliciagarza is a well known civil rights activist who is co founder of the BLM movement. She has a very prominent social media presence, & has utilized different platforms for mass mobilization. She is the embodiment of a true leader working toward racial justice . #LIDC07857

[TIME @TIME]

After years of fighting for racial justice, Black Lives Matter founders Patrisse Cullors (@OsopePatrisse), @aliciagarza and Opal Tometi (@opalayo) helped catalyze thousands of protests across the globe—and the largest movement in U.S. history #TIME100 https://t.co/GV7emltKaB

As mentioned in the Ingerson & Bruce reading, “Leaders have the ability to instantaneously share information with various members of the public”(75-76). Racial disparities have always been present in our country...

Taking this course while there's a pandemic going on has taught me why emerging technologies are so important in our society. We must learn how to adjust to change because we don't know when our norm will be challenged. #DCIM353b

[Rocio Rodriguez @RocioRodri1998]

This course made me think about the trials and errors a lot of advancing technologies face, and understand what it takes for a technology to become successful! #DCIM353b

[Rocio Rodriguez @RocioRodri1998]

A major take away from this course is learning about disruptive technologies, and how they either succeed or fail in our society. #DCIM353b

@aurorainthecity I agree! Although, if it is incorporated on a larger scale, employees must be careful of the biases that are present within these systems, especially when it comes to screening potential candidates.

[Rocio Rodriguez @RocioRodri1998]

@rhanna81531850 I agree! This can also be a great way for organizations to save time, money, and energy. Not everything needs to be a huge project, sometimes virtual methods are sufficient enough to get the job done. #DCIM353b

[Rocio Rodriguez @RocioRodri1998]

@RU_AlexaTep Great prediction! This quarantine has definitely made me realize that human interaction is not absolutely necessary when completing courses/working. But, I do think that most people prefer to be around others so human-interaction would not become non-existent. #DCIM353b

[Rocio Rodriguez @RocioRodri1998]

I predict that AI technologies will be incorporated into more products in the near future, which will cause some major criticism and security concerns among the public. #DCIM353b

[Rocio Rodriguez @RocioRodri1998]

This activity allowed me to learn more about my classmates, and students from other schools. I appreciate the diversity among everyone's tweets and replies. #TXC20 #DCIM353b

[Rocio Rodriguez @RocioRodri1998]

@RachelDube20 That sounds amazing Rachel, I hope everything goes well for you. When I was undecided I took a poli-sci course &. it was one of the most enlightening courses I've ever taken. As students its extremely important for everyone regardless of major to be aware of current events.

@LaurenGruskin Hey Lauren, I also love drawing and painting in my spare time! Although it's been mostly a hobby for me it's a great stress relief. #Dcim353b #TXC20

[Rocio Rodriguez @RocioRodri1998]

@lazravanales Great vision board! I see that you like bad bunny, YHLQMDLG is the only thing holding me down during this quarantine mess! #DCIM353b #TXC20

[Rocio Rodriguez @RocioRodri1998]

I aspire to create environments that are inclusive to all groups of people that are often misrepresented in our society. With a degree in HR, I want to assist companies in being as diverse and inclusive as they can be, by raising awareness among employees. #TXC20 #DCIM353b

A quality of mine that I will always cherish is my creativity. Being able to express myself artistically is a big part of who I am. I also take pride in my culture, which explains my membership in SED a Dominican club on campus.
