In my opinion, educations primary goal is to shape our knowledge, with no intention of bias, for "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" - Aristotle #educ307

Curious, I know the guiding questions are posted, but will there be a review video session for this course??

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

Finals are approaching! Personally I have never used any platform or tech besides all that Office has to offer to study, how about you guys?

Journal #5 's topic is making it hard to keep within the word limit!! #somuchtosay

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

Versus magazines, and so on. What do you think of this statement? I for one am conflicted but starting to see logic behind not needing a social media account to function in society just as we would with one. (2/2)

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

Going back to the Ted Talk I shared by Dr. cal Newport, he refers to social media as a form of entertainment. By refusing to use social media you are merely saying you prefer to get your entertainment elsewhere, just like saying you prefer to get information from newspapers (1/2)

@linnnnbb That actually gave me the chills! 😅

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

I do truly believe social media platforms provide us with some practical benefits but I do agree that newer generations need to understand the importance of life without such technologies as well.

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

@MPhilpitt Awesome thanks for the heads up 👊🏻

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

Going to tackle the final journal today, anyone have insightful advice before I begin? 😅

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

@tarek_tayeh @MikeFerrante58 I see your points, however Disney's concerns are consumer's concerns. A mass market company such as Disney are all about strong consumer trends, and if a large number of their market sees past products as an issue, Disney should and can rejuvenate them!

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

Going back to the Disney debate, it is understood that Disney knew what would sell at the time, however the fact is that that these stories are still present, and children still watch them... what do you think Disney should do from here to deal with rising concerns?

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

It's crazy how it is a lot easier to achieve the interaction requirements for our participation but I for one did not feel that for the original tweet requirements! I think it's because interacting, debating, sharing etc. all provide higher levels of educational stimuli!

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

@chloe_307 Exactly! Well put👊🏻

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

Some objections to consider: "Quit social media | Dr. Cal Newport | TEDxTysons" what do you guys think? https://t.co/65nADiAu6P

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

@MPuistonen I feel the same! #educ307withusalways

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

@emily_newell96 @Agrotto_Educ307 It also helped study for upcoming quizzes and help expand our train of thoughts before we tackled the journals

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

@Agrotto_Educ307 @ashleyberdowski Yes honestly I might even suggest it in the next course evaluation I perform for one of my current classes

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

@StevenGuerrera1 I as well found those lessons very interesting, I think they are the most popular amongst our fellow classmates!!

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

What was your favourite lesson of this course? #educ307 #comingtoanend

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

@Agrotto_Educ307 that sounds like the appropriate course of action

[Alexia Lento @alexia_lento]

@jovon_villarasa I think that lesson is definetly in the top for everyone including myself, it really sparked a lot of conversation.
