#Lesson13
Students can readily become aware of the code that comes with digital technologies by taking a social media and online behaviour lesson as early as middle school.

@VanyaMarinova2 Yes, there are so many issues that I was either clueless about or didn't know about fully, that were made visible to me by using social media. Social media also gives you the chance to see an issue from a different perspective than you might be used to.

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

When we're connected globally, it's important to educate ourselves on the issues that other people around the world face, and to help spread the issues/messages that need more attention. #lesson12

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

agreed, there have been a few times where youtube has taught me more about a concept than my teacher(s).

[Samantha Treglia @tregliasamantha]

It is important for children to learn to watch what they say online, because it will be on the internet forever. Even if it does get deleted, it cannot be erased from the minds of those who have seen it. #lesson12

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

Whether that's because they have a large platform, or they're in a position where they can actually make a change. #lesson12

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

Either by using hashtags, speaking about the issue yourself, or even just sharing other people's posts that are discussing the information. It's also important to try to bring these issues to people who can make a difference. #lesson12

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

Exactly! #Lesson11

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

For the people who are part of racial/ethnic groups that aren't white. How do you feel about how Disney represents you, if at all? #Lesson11

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

As much as Disney is starting to make changes in regards to gender & race/ethnicity. It's still sad that the only animated movies I can think of that don't depict women in the 'classic' figure are Lilo & Stitch, Moana, Encanto, and Turning Red. #Lesson11

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

It's also sad, and this wasn't even something I noticed until I saw someone point it out online, that when black people were finally given representation with the Princess and the Frog, the main character was a frog for most of the movie. #Lesson11

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

Absolutely agree.#Lesson11

[Naz @usernaz12345]

#Lesson11 I do believe that Disney being a massive-profit driven corporation effects the stories it tells, I mean come on. Money is how they calculate their next move, who is funding them, who's giving them the juice, which demographic, definetly shows in their writing,

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

I do think very recently Disney has started to change but that doesn't mean they shouldn't still be held accountable for the things they've done in the past. Especially because a lot of these harmful movies are still easily accessible for children. #Lesson11

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

Mickey Mouse Monopoly really reminds me that it's important to think about these movies critically. Over the years Disney has pushed a lot of harmful messages. First and foremost Disney is a corporation that tends to hide behind its innocence. #Lesson11

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

@tregliasamantha Off the top of my head, with Disney princess movies, they haven't really used the "damsel in distress" trope. Tangled is probably the only "recent" movie that still kind of uses this trope. If anyone can think of another recent movie using this trope let me know. #Lesson11

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

@S40210228 It's a space where women can band together & talk about their experiences or bring up the injustices that women face to wider audiences, but it's not a safe space. Not with the amount of violent (sexually, physically, etc) comments/dm's a lot of women get. #Lesson10

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

@egan_moegi Yes, it's so important to note that a lot of/most first and second-wave feminists were racist and didn't think BIPOC women deserved the same rights. And it's not like racist feminists don't still exist.#Lesson10

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

@jenna96040742 Agreed. Social media has also helped me become more conscious of the biases I didn't know I had. Especially, when it comes to intersectional feminism. #Lesson10

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

Especially with things like the youtube recommended page, the TikTok for your page, and targeted ads, everything you do online is being monitored. It's honestly a little distressing to think deeply about. #Lesson9

[cassandraluponio @cassluponio]

In the back of my mind, I'm very aware of how easily my information is tracked, and yet I tend to ignore that part of social media use. It doesn't matter if you're someone who posts often, there's no privacy. #lesson9
