Do you think that we've gotten so used to accepting terms and conditions on our phones that we would not hold a physical legal document that we would have to sign with as much respect to what we used too? I think society has become so used to just accepting clauses.

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

I always switch between studying online vs using a physical notebook. I think the notebook helps me stay more focused, I cannot get distracted as easily.

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

Crazy how social media works now a days. For the past few days my feeds have been filled with the travesty that took place at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival. Important that everyone has access to the information.

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

Something that I will take away from this course is how I present myself online in regards to online privacy.

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@ShianellaSapp I have connected with a bunch of people from different parts of the world. Easy to bond with them if you find a common passion.

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@JuliaCarrera307 Yes, even when I am busy I somehow find time to scroll on social media. Maybe this is a poor use of some of the free time I have, but sometimes I find it calming to just scroll through a feed and not have to think much!

@stoye_educ307 I have yet to have a proctored exam, seems very intrusive

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

In lesson 9 it discusses how schools must ensure student safety virtually as well and physically. This means the students do not get any privacy on their computers, might be a bit controlling. I think it could be up to the parents to properly teach their kids about online safety.

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

Do we really have control of our digital privacy? Even though we're able to turn on privacy settings, I think that our personal data is never truly secured. At the end of the day we still chose to upload certain things to the internet.

How does everyone feel about the subject of Crypto?
Does anybody have any money in Crypto, and how safe do you feel about it?

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@ShianellaSapp Haha, I agree. I would like to think I know about technology but really its just scratching the surface. What's it going to be like when we're older and the newer generations are going to be teaching us how to use different technologies!

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@NalcakarBerfu 100%, I am never active on social media, so this has become a bit of a step out of my comfort zone. Very easy with everyone else tweeting a lot though! Good interactions

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@Katrinaaaaaab The only thing is they probably take over 2 hours to read. Also if you deny them then you can't even use it. For example your phone asks you to accept, if you don't you just wasted your money on the phone.

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@PMitsianis Honestly, doesn't really bother me. Maybe I should be worried about it but I feel like there are a lot of security measures in place so the individual is protected.

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@Wahab_Educ307 Me too, however I think this can be an advantage of an online class. You're able to somewhat work at your own pace. Whether that be doing everything in 1 week or spreading it out.

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@meaganlaurin1 Yea, this is very creepy and unfortunately with technology this stuff can happen. Just best to report those accounts and hopefully they get taken down quick

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@CarleeLinder12 @fortier_sydney I've switched back and forth but now I think I'd rather keep it on private because I get a bunch of random bot accounts that follow me. Gets annoying.

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@AyazSharif12 I don't use it anymore. Don't feel like it does anything more than the other apps that I use more often

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

Anyone know of good classes on Econcordia in the Winter semester?

[Shane McCollam @S_McCollEduc307]

@MeghanGil21 Couldn't agree more, using the term "watching" or even monitoring can be intruding on your kids privacy whereas, giving them all the right tools to succeed is the best way about it.
