@carissag_au This is a really great point! Also solidifies why I hesitated to incorporate social media for the middle grades…being either under the age restriction or right above it can create for a rather “sticky situation” #edt501
According to Wikipedia, addiction is “characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences.” Based on this definition, how do you now feel about the excessive use of social media as an “addiction”? #edt501
“Misinformation on Facebook got six times more clicks than factual news during the 2020 election, study says” 😳 I found this article to be pretty interesting. https://t.co/T7eFaUnB1z #edt501
@Julie_EdTech@nstvbrickwall@VICENews I completely agree. The political and social climate in which we live in truly welcomes and breeds polarization, selective perception, the lack of a NEED for credibility. #edt501
This week’s topic has really made me wonder - how do we begin to contain the production and spread of disinformation? Is it even possible?Thoughts? #edt501
@msefkarpidis Definitely. Maybe the lessons on misinformation and disinformation can be grouped in with discussing cyber bullying and the other dangers of the internet. #edt501
@Julie_EdTech This is so surprising and thought-provoking. Like @EdBrynn said, seeing the difference between the voter and ‘representative’ map is really interesting! I think this data visualization must be conveying the comparative amount of people that vote in each state? #edt501
@msefkarpidis Yesss! 👏🏻 Agreed. Still trying to brainstorm the ways I can incorporate data visualizations in English class but I think in terms of tackling the different time periods, settings, and prominent figures/authors, explained videos will come in handy!! #edt501
@cmihalatos0510 Your tweet brings me back to the age-old question: has every great song already been written? Maybe yes, maybe no. But after learning about the extent of remixing in society, I now lean toward yes, in some capacity all great songs have been written. #edt501
@Julie_EdTech This is a point I brought up this week in the MIP forum…the idea of memes as remixed media served as such an epiphany to me in regards to the way in which essentially every avenue of social media is #remixed content. #edt501
This is a phrase I’ve heard often since beginning my career. When creating material or asking for a certain level of creativity from our students, we/they don’t need to reinvent the wheel! #edt501
Definitely got carried away making memes after learning about the very accessible websites used to create them on this week so here’s another one that I made! #edt501
