@colleen_cheung Good point. Entertainment and distraction are both great descriptive words. #GNED1411 13.3

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

@Shailist_ Unfortunately it's so easy to get distracted by social media even when you have something else to do in front of you. 13.3 #GNED1411

13.3 I do not think social media is beneficial in the classroom. Although it can be educational, it can also act as a distraction to students. #GNED1411

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

13.2 Social media can be used to better educatio by allowing students to see recent articles and read the opinions of others. #GNED1411

@Shailist_ It's nice to be able to access information on almost any topic on social media! 13.1 #GNED1411

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

@aggreybent25 This is the first course that I have used social media for educational purposes! It has been interesting. 13.1 #GNED1411

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

13.1 I use social media for education by following profiles that post educational content such as science, wildlife, and health tips. #GNED1411

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

@Rohannarang20 I agree. It also gives people a chance to develop an interest in activism that they may not have been exposed to without social media. #GNED1411 12.3

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

12.3 I definitely believe activism supported by the use of social media gets the message across. 'Hashtag Activism' is powerful because it gets the message across to people you may not reach in person. #GNED1411

12.2 #GNED1411 Some of the online advocacy movements that stuck out to me were #BlackLivesMatter and the #MeToo movement.

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

@SharanBatth7 Good point. I find that I am happier when I'm not worried about what my peers are positing online. 12.1 #GNED1411

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

@aggreybent25 I agree, it is definitely a beneficial way to spread a message to those you can't reach out to in person. 12.1 #GNED1411

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

12.1 I think social media is a great platform for supporting activism and advocacy. I was moved by the #PostItForward campaign, started by @Tumblr, which was created to provide positive support in the online community. #GNED1411

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

@JassSid06222639 It also helps encourage people who already cook to try new ingredients and new flavours!

11.1 I have contributed to the particapatory economy by using Facebook groups and Pinterest where I have posted my favourite receipes and DIY projects to share with other users. #GNED1411

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

@JessThompson100 Thats awesome! Love to hear it being put towards something so beneficial for others. 11.2 #GNED1411

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

11.2 I don't personally know anyone who has reached their goal when crowdfunding, but I have seen many families have success towards raising money on @gofundme. #GNED1411

[Amber @ambercorcoran95]

@vishavvirk98 I recieved that game as a gift! I personally do not find it fun, but I'm glad to see many others did! 11.2 #GNED1411
