I love fitness and to play sports, I love to work and spend time with my friends and family.

100% agree with them!

Mentoring relationships protect against the harmful effects of social isolation, toxic stress & #socialdistancing. Research shows #mentoring can dramatically improve the life of vulnerable youth. You can help when you #volunteer or #donate through #BBBS: https://t.co/TyRgMiSDbB

@atshayanie I agree with you! I learned a lot from this course, I also learned how to protect my online identity! I think this course was a lot of fun.

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

@AlisarKousa Yeah I didn't know that you had so many words to use! Also I agree with managing online habits!

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

With what I have learned I will think about my everyday life and how I can use social media to my advantage to find information for school but also for my personal life and to stay in contact with friends/family! #GNED1411 14.2

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

3 most useful things I have learned is:
1. How to manage my online identity
2. How to get back privacy from social media
3. How has education being used for school
I think each of things have taught me a lot and more to think about! #GNED1411 14.2

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

The most surpising thing to me was how useful a social media app could be for a class. At the start I wasn't sure how twitter was going to help me learn but its amazing how I used a social media app throughout the whole course. #GNED1411 14.2

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

@nnanna_ma I used social media to research information as well. I find that it helps a lot!

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

@AlisarKousa I agree with you! I used social media all the time during school!

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

I think social media will change by people making more apps. I think everyone will get so used to being on their phones/laptops they won't have good social skills. I just feel like everything will be online. #GNED1411 14.1

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

I tjink it's good to use social media and it can be beneficial for kids. I also think that it can be a distraction because if you look at your phone and see a message your going to want to read it then you end up scrolling on Instagram. #GNED1411 13.3

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

I think that teachers use a lot of social media as it is. I don't think there needs to be anymore usage of it because so many kids just sit on their phones and stare at the screen, the last thing they need is to do the same from school. #GNED1411 13.2

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

Yes, I have used social media for education. I have been using it for my social media class. #GNED1411 13.1

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

@Natasha02544607 Social media brings a lot of attention to everyone and what is going on in the world!

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

@AlisarKousa I agree with what you are saying! The news gets around very quick!

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

I think social media is effective with supporting activism/advocacy because social media gets news out to everyone quicker! I have been moved to support a cause even more then I did before. Womens rights. How women don't get the same as men or treated differently #GNED1411 12.2

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

I feel like
@JustinTrudeau
and Doug ford have resonated with me because they have been updating and trying to keep Canada/Ontario safe during COVID-19. #GNED1411 12.1

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

Personally I think that the long-term effects of social media will turn out bad. I think a lot of people will lose communication skills and everything like shopping and getting food will all be online. It's already going that way. I don't think it's good. #GNED1411 11.2

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

I support small business by buying gifts from them, and by posting them on social media to bring awareness to their business! #GNED1411 11.1

[Ashlyn MacLeod @ashlyn_macleod]

@AlisarKousa The news has definitely increased because of social media and I do believe that it could casue a negative affect on people too!
