I think brand ambassador or influencers are going to become more popular. They are already gaining an audience on platforms such as Instagram & Twitter, and they have helped the business/brand they are working for. #GNED1411 14.2

These platforms are always changing/upgrading; software updates. I think these platforms will become much more advanced for businesses. People are using their social media to book appointments and advertising their product/service. #GNED1411 14.1

Having social media in a class room is beneficial, however, it can be very distracting. A couple of times I have just looked through my feed, instead of doing the assigned work. This is how I feel about it however, as I said before there are lots of benefits #GNED1411 13.3

I think one way social media could be used as an educational purpose is an online chat room for the class, including the instructor. This chat room could answer questions for any assignments/test, book meetings with the instructor or one-on-one guidance for a task. #GNED1411 13.2

Currently I am using social media for #GNED1411 to tweet to prompts from the instructor @lrv4 . Using this platform for this class is great because you not only get feed back from the teacher, but your peers as well. 13.1

@emilydeon100 That's great! I agree a lot of re-tweets and likes go a long way in today's society. Even news outlets post them to different media platforms, like TV and it contributes to other audiences like the elderly and those without access to the internet.

Use of digital activism/advocacy is making a difference. Many people have a form of social media, where they share, re-tweet or like. Making these issues known and cared about. # activism is powerful it curates all issues to one page with many opinions & thoughts. #GNED1411 12.3

After more than 300 school-girls had been abducted in Chibok, Nigeria, the news of these girls slipped "under the rug". Using the #BringBackOurGirls has made an awareness and generated more than 4.5M tweets about it. #GNED1411 12.2

[emily @emilydeon100]

I believe that social media is supporting activism or advocacy well because it only take so many re-tweets or likes to make the awareness go viral. There are many times I have supported causes through social media; they show up and catch my eye and I must support. #GNED1411 12.1

one individual I know personally, started a GoFundMe for her dog, that is her support animal. This dog's legs where not functioning however, she decided to make a GoFundMe to be able to afford a surgery to help save the dog and support her. #GNED1411 11.2

[emily @emilydeon100]

I contributed to the participatory economy because if there is a post that interest me I will re-tweet or re-post to gain awareness to it. #GNED1411 11.1

@sedzilla_ Thank you!

Social media made the 2016 presidential election more prominent to the younger generation. This had made us more aware of the movements of the government. #GNED1411 10.3

[emily @emilydeon100]

I do not fall in the citizen 2.0 because i do not follow politics or have a passion for them. I believe it is important for government transparency to a certain extent. There are a few things that should be left unsaid to prevent hysteria and chaos. #GNED1411 10.2

[emily @emilydeon100]

I do not follow politics however, social media helps me look at all the options and choose to vote for what is right for me. It is confusing but, social media helps me to better understand it by constantly keeping me updated on what those involved stand for. #GNED1411 10.1

[emily @emilydeon100]

One crowdsorcing campaign that has stood out to me in the past few years would be the GoFundMe. https://t.co/5QTS0l7Scu #GNED1411 9.3

One way business are utilizing social media is by sending their brands to well known individuals to represent their products. Making it seem more fashionable and high-end. Representing their niche. #GNED1411 9.2

[emily @emilydeon100]

My favorite business I follow would be Green Hawk. I would say that they fit in as mavens because they are constantly having promotions or deals and they encourage customers to come in. Also, they are constantly posting about new arrivals/products to try out. #GNED1411 9.1

@maddyjeffrey5 Me too, I find it easier to research and read the news on my social media. #GNED1411
