It's important to remain as professional as possible while using social media!

[Danielle @DanielleLV8]

It's crazy how our clicks on the internet are being recorded and studied by firms for promotions, so as adults, we must learn how to protect our privacy and safety when using social media or even gadgets at all times. #lesson13

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

I find sometimes people tend to focus on negatives aspects of things and fail to look at all the positives it could bring, much like social media!

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

For sure! I think the only reason why I am up to date with news/videos is because they go viral by people sharing them

[Naomi Edery @EderyNaomi]

It seems as though anything nowadays can go viral on social media, seeing as it is such a large platform.. Because of all of these “like”, “share”, “retweet” buttons, we are able to share content online in the blink of an eye #Lesson13 #EDUC307

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

@EderyNaomi I think YouTube has now become one of the biggest social media platforms and I completely agree that it is a great way to get stories heard!

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

Very good point! I know a news outlet that is social media based is MTL Blog and I've heard it's an extremely unreliable source

[Naomi Edery @EderyNaomi]

Although social media platforms have infinite advantages, it is always important to nevertheless be cautious, seeing as not everything on the Internet is reality. Don’t believe everything you see! Real eyes, realize real LIES #Lesson12 #EDUC307

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

It's a great way to reach out to people far greater than their surrounding communities!

I really think it's amazing how companies and foundations gather donations through the use of social media. Like how bell let's talk donates money based on the number of shares, retweets, tweets, etc it gets #lesson12

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

It's very true! That story spread like wild fire on social media

[Kayla Shamshoum @KShamshoum]

One girl took a stand to talk about the human trafficking that is happening around our campuses. Within seconds, everyone began sharing, warning others and stepping up that it has happened to them as well. Social media will be a powerful tool for children #lesson12

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

Social media has become a news outlet for a lot of people and without it I don't know if many people would know what's going on in our world today #lesson12

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

One of the biggest positives I find with the internet and social media platforms

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

Completely agree with you! Nothing good comes out of anger

[Naomi Edery @EderyNaomi]

I’m all for protesting, however, I do believe that it should be done with good intentions.. to make a statement and get your message across.. As long as no form of aggression is involved, by authorities or protestors.. there shouldn’t be an issue. #Lesson12 #EDUC307

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

As did mine, my parents were extremely strict about what I watched and it definitely worked out for the better! I didn't find myself being influenced with certain things like other kids my age during that time. Monitoring should be something that is taken more seriously!

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

Unfortunately that's the reality of our world 🙁

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

I agree!

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

Let's not forget that Disney isn't the only franchise that makes movie that are supposed to be suited for kids! What about Pixar and DreamWorks? #Lesson11

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

Very true! I feel as though in today's world every thing is taken too seriously and is over analyzed!

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

nowadays a lot of kids watch a lot of material that is not suited for them,it is important that parents screen what their kids watch, even if they are Disney movies. Just because they seem like a suitable movie, doesn't mean they aren't negative messages behind it #lesson11

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

Watching the Mickey Mouse Monopoly documentary really gave me a different outlook Disney #Lesson11

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

I agree, it was an eye-opener

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

While the documentary was very interesting, I do agree that some parts were a little confusing as well!

[Amelia Iatros @AIatros]

I have noticed over the years that Disney is trying to be more inclusive! Its a slow progress, but it's a start

[Naomi Edery @EderyNaomi]

Although I do believe that Disney can be offsetting with much of their depictions, I do think that they’ve improved with gender & racial portrayals (Ex: Moana). They’ve also started to include movies where the princess doesn’t necessarily need a prince to save her from doom! #L11
