My favourite campaign was the video 'stereotypes' by the mile end community project in London. #educ307

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

I have taken a few online classes and their format and methods have all varied greatly. #educ307 is one of my favourites!

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

Taking the time to properly reflect on the information we are learning is essential to understanding the material. Completing the journals really helped me learn. #educ307

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

It was wonderful how interactive this class was all semester. Twitter was a great educational tool! #educ307

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

I really enjoyed doing journal 5! It was fun searching for campaigns that fight back against stereotypes. #journal5 #educ307

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

@mill_emi Same here! It's so refreshing to learn about the many ways social media and digital technology can be a positive social force in and out of the classroom. #educ307

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

@laurenmcl94 Definitely, the elementary schools are starting to teach digital literacy very early now.

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

@MichMoryoussef Absolutely! Digital citizenship must be taught consistently at all levels of education.

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

@alandreville_ I agree! I didn't even have a twitter account before EDUC 307. They understand the importance of reflecting. Tweeting really helped me remember and understand the lessons! #EDUC307

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

@laurenmcl94 Yes absolutely, they do influence us even if we don't realize it.

I am glad to see that instances of otherism is reducing in Disney films as time goes on. I was completely oblivious to it as a child. #Lesson11

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

My son's teacher loves Disney so he's being exposed to it now at school. I know of some parents who are opposed to it, but their reasons are more for the commercialization aspect of Disney. #Lesson11

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

My son doesn't enjoy Disney movies because of the scary villains and sad death scenes, so we don't watch any at home. I haven't seen the newer ones for this reason, but I am happy to know that the newer movies are less stereotypical than the classics. #Lesson11

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

I haven't seen some of the disney movies for a long time, and I honestly don't think I noticed all of the stereotypes as a child. #Lesson11

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

@Tmaz522 Yes, despite the stereotypes, many characters had virtuous traits that children could learn great lessons from!

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

@SamanthaDavid22 That's how it was for me too! The movies made feel good and happy and genuinely positive about life!

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

@iavendittib Yes, I agree! Men are often misrepresented in films as well.

[Allison Osler @allison_osler]

I especially like the 'virtual appreciative inquiry asset' option as a way to discuss and brainstorm ways to address a traumatic event within a community. #EDUC307 #journal4
