Overall I feel like I’ve learned a lot over this semester. I feel like I’ve begun to understand the history of social media as well as the future and strategies to make the most out of it in a smart way. I’m excited to see what the future holds and how close my guesses are

[briannah @briannah_alt]

@ashlyn_macleod Really good point! I was surprised how much I learned researching my business and their marketing strategies on different platforms

[briannah @briannah_alt]

@LuxuryKays True! I found citizen journalism interesting to look into. It’s crazy how anyone has the power to make stuff up or accidentally (or intentionally) spread fake news. It’s definitely important to fact check

3/3. The knowledge from this will help me maintain a clean image online, protect my information when needed, and to market my art on social media. Overall, it will help me forge my online identity and future career with useful tips and tricks

#GNED1411 14.2 One of the most surprising things I learned was that WhatsApp experienced the biggest growth in general during the pandemic (by 10% in some countries) according to Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2020. It makes sense but I don’t know many people who use it

2/3. 1. How my data is used and collected 2. Tips on online privacy and identity 3. How social media is used by businesses

[briannah @briannah_alt]

In the future, I think social media will dominate a lot more and everything will become more connected. Ex: order food straight off Instagram or make reservations via DM. I think there will be more online advertising/shopping and I’m sure new platforms will trend #GNED1411 14.1

https://t.co/IOXD2ZnFDS This is interesting! I know I’ve searched a lot of these things myself

#GNED1411 13.3. I think SM can be both educational & distracting in the classroom. This class has been educational & I haven’t found myself getting distracted but I could see myself getting slightly distracted on another platform or in class. It depends on the student I’d say

[briannah @briannah_alt]

#GNED1411 13.2 A use of social media I’d like to see in the classroom is YouTube. Due to quarantine I’ve had video lessons but I would’ve killed to revisit things in some of my high school classes. I see why they’d be too much work but it would be cool if there was an easier way

[briannah @briannah_alt]

@kasandrakeenan7 My class has a discord group where we share resources it’s definitely helpful to have

[briannah @briannah_alt]

@EmmanuellaOkon7 That’s a good one! I’m not great at cooking/baking but I have this one recipe off TikTok I really like. It was explained really quickly but even I (shockingly might I add) didn’t mess it up

[briannah @briannah_alt]

#GNED1411 13.1. A way I’ve used social media for educational purposes would be art tutorials. Especially when I was younger I used to follow a lot of tutorials people would post. I also follow an account that teaches simple phrases in different languages

[briannah @briannah_alt]

For my extra tweet this week I thought I’d share this https://t.co/zbhZswf7SR I wouldn’t have guessed the first legislation protecting animals to be released that long ago (1822). This covers a lot of stuff I didn’t know

[briannah @briannah_alt]

@KevinWaltonDC1 Thank you!! I need to make some new ones I feel unqualified when I make them haha. That sounds really interesting! I do digital art myself, mostly fantasy characters and stuff

[briannah @briannah_alt]

#GNED1411 11.1 I’ve contributed to the participatory economy in small ways by making art tutorials, video edits for entertainment, posting speed paints of my art, etc. I also used to write and publish a lot of stories just for self expression

[briannah @briannah_alt]

@EmmanuellaOkon7 thank you!!

[briannah @briannah_alt]

@ri_smithhh I don’t know a lot about this movement but I’m glad it looks out for sex trafficking. I remember in my anthro class girls were talking about all sorts of experiences and it honestly still unnerves me it happens (especially to children). I agree SM is effective w/ awareness

[briannah @briannah_alt]

@nnanna_ma I didn’t know a lot about this but just checking the hashtag caught me up a bit. Further proof social media is useful in that way.

[briannah @briannah_alt]

Social media is extremely effective at supporting activism imo. After watching undercover videos on fur farms, I’m a strong advocate for faux fur or at the very least being educated on where it’s from and the practices used. #GNED1411 12.2

[briannah @briannah_alt]

An example would be GISH by @/mishacollins the largest media scavenger hunt with the most pledges to complete random acts of kindness. The idea is really fun and the way social media is used for the campaign really stands out https://t.co/VYtMHbqU9y #GNED 12.1
