We need to be more careful with the way that address certain topics through social media. Some words can definitely affect other individuals, therefore, it is important to take into consideration other perspectives when voicing an opinion, in the most respectful way! #LESSON12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Social media has given the opportunity so many people to spread awareness and concerns about current events. It has also provided a form of speaking up and allowing those who cannot be heard, to finally have a voice in this world. #LESSON12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Great way to use technology and spread awareness!

"If we show emotion we're called dramatic. If we want to play against men, we're nuts. And if we dream of equal opportunity, delusional” -Dream Crazier video (Nike)

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Me too!

[nicholas.staub @StaubNicholas]

this class really opened my eyes to how people can use social media to impact others and share their stories #educ307

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Youtube has definitely changed my studying method. In fact, for calculus, it has allowed me to visualize how to approach a certain problem and provided a clear explanation on how to resolve it. #LESSON12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

@levana_z Definitely! If social media only consisted of cons, it would not be used as much as it is today. #LESSON12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Yes! This is exactly how cyberbullying starts. We need to pay more attention to what we say on social media and how to use words in a respectful matter. #LESSON12

[Chelsea Doret @DoretChelsea]

@DanielleGold14 I agree, but some people hide behind screens and say nasty things that they would never say face to face

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Yes! Especially for those who are restricted in their freedom of expression. Social media can be a great tool for expressing opinions and also addressing important issues that are occurring in a society. #LESSON12

[Daniela @DanielaEDUC307]

Although simply raising awareness is not enough, bringing attention to important issues through social media can be a first step toward finding solutions and mobilizing people to seek change. #lesson12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Could not agree with you more!!

[Daniela @DanielaEDUC307]

Social media platforms can be used to mobilize a large number of people, for example, by creating Facebook groups/events to organize protests. #lesson12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Agreed! I love online classes as it allows me to properly manage my time and to communicate with others such as twitter blogs. #LESSON12

[Alex Aprikian @AAprikian]

Internet should be used in a good way. Examples such as taking an online course from a university can be very useful and practical. Using group video chats for a project or meeting can be very helpful. #lesson12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Yes! Especially with what happened recently in New Zealand. The content of the video was disturbing and traumatizing. Things like this should never be put on social media. #LESSON12

[Alex Aprikian @AAprikian]

Cyberterrorism and hate crimes through the use of technology should be stopped. The internet should be used as a place to get informed about a subject and to communicate with others freely but in a respectable way. This will help make a difference! #lesson12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Agreed! This is why it is important to check if the source is a credible one. #LESSON12

[Dimitra @Dimitra11918282]

It is always important to analyze the content before believing what is written or posted online. #lesson12 #educ307

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Yes! I am not sure what to believe anymore when I read articles or exposed to news through facebook. #LESSON12

[Mario Ruggieri @mario_ruggie]

As technology is getting more and more advanced, there are many videos today that seem unedited but in fact they are and fake news has also become an issue. #lesson12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Agreed! I think that face-to-face communication is essential for living in society as it provides people skills and ways to discuss issues with other people. I think that the use of social media in children under the age of 8 should be restricted by parents.#LESSON12

[amandaburdick10 @amandaburdick10]

I believe that children have lost face to face communication. They are too connected to their phones and electronic devices. I believe that face to face communication is a vital skill to have also in the information age. #educ307 #lesson12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Absolutely! Social media is a tool that can allow different cultures and populations to connect to each other issues and to discuss these issues, while having different opinions. #LESSON12

[Christa @Christa60721022]

When we're connected globally, we become knowledgable about other issues around the world and can learn to help others #lesson12 #educ307

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Yes! Especially, sometimes I research about a certain product and youtube videos provide honest reviews about that product. I think it is a great way to get insights on certain products. #LESSON12

[Josh Black @joshblack06]

Although Youtube has tons of edited videos, I think it is a great platform because it also allows people to post raw and unedited content. #Lesson12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

The education system is slowly introducing new technologies into classrooms, while exposing the young students to these innovations. Hence, children should be taught how to use social media for security and privacy purposes, #LESSON12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

Social media has created a platform for more than just promoting ads. It has allowed for people to express their views and spread awareness and I think that if used properly, the world could really benefit from the spread of these messages. #LESSON12

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

I agree with that, but I think it is still important to talk about the transitions that are being made, as it can inspire other big companies to do the same. #LESSON11

[Stephanie @Stephan32189524]

I definitely agree with that. Is it insane that we have just been introduced to these hidden message as we are mostly all in our 20s? #LESON11

[MargheB16 @B16Marghe]

I think it is important for parents, educators or nannies to discuss the movies with the children. #Lesson11
