@infotechluvr Hi Amy, I agree that Mark Ruffalo is a good leader because he used his fame from acting to spread awareness to various important issues/topics.

@RUBrianRivas Hi Brian, Lebron is a great example because not only is he a great leader on the court but he also is a fantastic leader off the court with the various charities he is a part of and even creating his I Promise school.

@CorcoranJarred Hi Jarred, Mr Beast is a perfect example of a leader because he uses his massive platform and audience to spread good causes that he is apart of.

#LIDC90 Dwyane Wade is a perfect example of a celebrity and leader. Wade, a former NBA player led his team to 3 championships. In his life, after the NBA, Wade is spreading awareness about the trans movement and rights. https://t.co/VdxFL6c7Of

@sapir_be Hi Sapir,
Good article choice and I like how you connected it back to the reading. I feel like a lot of people get their news from Twitter now

@KJohanesson Hi Kyle,
Good choice this article is interesting in explaining how companies are using social media for marketing strategies.

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

@CorcoranJarred Hi Jarred,
Good article choice because most of the time we see articles on how social media is bad but it also has many benefits.

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

#LIDC90 This article explains how today's leaders have to develop digital leadership skills. This is in line with what Kahai was stating when he talked about how leadership changes with new technology and how leaders must embrace those changes. https://t.co/o8IY4LCYPX

@isaiahalidc90 Hi Isaiah!
I agree that Shams is a digital leader even though he is known for reporting basketball news he is still using his platform to talk and spread awareness on important issues.

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

@CorcoranJarred Hi Jarred!
This is a good example of leadership since AOC is utilizing social media to try and make a positive change in the world.

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

@XaviPazmino63 Hi Xavi!
This is a perfect example of leadership since Rashford used his success in pro football to make a real change for people who are in need.

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

#LIDC90 In the video "What is leadership?", people said that a leader is someone that takes responsibility and inspires people to make change. Tiger Woods is a professional golfer but he has used his name to create a charity that helps children in need. https://t.co/pXMrbgCJUm

#DigiTechF21B Before this course I never thought about disruptive technologies. After finishing this course it was eye opening to see how much our lives are controlled by technologies and media. Overall this was a great class.

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

#DigiTechF21B
One takeaway from the course would be that you can use social media for educational purposes. This was the first class that I personally ever had to use a social media platform for discussions. I found it more engaging than canvas discussion boards

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

#TXC21 #DigiTechF21B
One piece of advice I would give would to be thoughtful in your responses because the more effort you put in the better the conversation will be.

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

#DigiTechF21B #TXC21
My primary takeaway from this activity is that you can have nice professional discussions using social media. Another takeaway is that twitter was a good way for all of us to communicate.

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

@jessicat_ru Personally I have never been there yet but I will have to check it out because it sounds very useful.

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

@amanda_stellwag I agree with you because I used to just write my notes down by hand and never really thought I needed a laptop but after using one it is so much easier and useful.

[WILLIAM MARKEY @WJM2134]

@ashley_hubscher I agree that it is very important to have a good place to study and the AB is a very good option for getting working done and concentrating .

A good way to succeed at Rutgers is to learn good time management skills. There is a lot of fun things to do at Rutgers that could distract you from your school work but if you can find the balance between fun and school work you will succeed. #DigiTechF21B #TXC21
