I think social media will be forever evolving in this faced paced environment we live in. I think some trends that could be added are more advocacy trends but with global warming of sustainability, since these are becoming more popular in our society. 14.1 #GNED1411

Incorporating social media into the classroom can benefit students. It can be used for engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking skills through activities such as online discussions, collaborative projects, social media research, & interactive quizzes. 13.3 #GNED1411

You can create a private Facebook group or a Twitter hashtag for your class, where students can participate in online discussions, share resources and interact with each other outside of class. This can help to foster engagement and collaboration among students. 13.2 #GNED1411

I have in fact used social media for educational purposes. I use social media for this class specifically to help with research for assignments, and use social media to help teach myself hobbies I'm interested in like fashion and photography. 13.1 #GNED1411

Social media has become a powerful tool for activism and advocacy because it allows individuals to connect and share information with others quickly and easily, regardless of their physical location. 12.2 #GNED1411

One example of advocacy that has really resonated with me is the use of social media during the BLM movement. Many people were using social media to spread awareness of the issue and it really helped me have an understanding of how serious the issues were. 12.1 #GNED1411

@Deshna0611 I did this as well, mostly got my info from tv, the newspaper, or my parents because I was a child, but I do the same things as you now and get everything from social media.

@stephaniedc_23 I do this as well, it's a great way to find answers quickly. I use youtube all the time for tutorials on things like excel and even hobbies I like to do.

[Grace @gracebrown000]

@AmandaSch1411 This definitely resonated with me as well, it was a great way to spread awareness!

One long-term impact of social media is the way it has changed communication between people. These platforms have made it possible for people to communicate with others from around the world, this allows for the exchange of ideas & info on a scale never seen. #GNED1411 11.2

I contribute to the participatory economy in a couple ways, but the #1 way would have to be simply sharing social media posts with friends, commenting, and sharing. This ultimately can lead to economic gain. #GNED1411 11.1

Having a presence on social media does effect my voting decisions, just because if one person is posting things that I disagree with, it will stick with me when it comes to voting and might make me re think my decision. 10.3 #GNED1411

I can't find a specific example of a strong and positive government presence on social media, however, I do believe that it is important for the government to always post about daily events and make sure they're aware of what is going on to show that they care. 10.2 #GNED1411

[Grace @gracebrown000]

I believe that I do fall under the 2.0 government. I think many people in this day and age value transparency and openness then they ever have before, so I think if the government implements it then they will strive to do a lot better. 10.1 #GNED1411

One viral marketing trend I always go to is the name on your coca-cola bottle. The idea was that you were to share a coke with somebody whose name was on the bottle, but people loved the idea so much that they started selling it out by coca-cola collectors. 9.3 #GNED1411

[Grace @gracebrown000]

One way brands utilize social media is by posting popular trends on apps like TikTok. It can put the company account into many people's algorithms and can ultimately get the consumers to click on their social media page 9.2 #GNED1411

My favorite brand is Sephora, and I think that the company would be considered a maven. Sephora's social media use definitely helps me a lot with my brand loyalty as I am always being reminded of them when they post so I ultimately go to them first. 9.1 #GNED1411

I think that social media's lack of gatekeepers and the ease with which misinformation spreads have led to a decrease in the quality of news and information available. 8.3 #GNED1411

[Grace @gracebrown000]

Some ways to combat the 'echo chamber' effect include seeking out diverse sources of information, engaging in civil discussions with those with different viewpoints, and being mindful of one's biases and assumptions. 8.2 #GNED1411

[Grace @gracebrown000]

On a typical day, I use social media or google to get my news information. I have recently replaced cable television with social media because I can access this easier with my phone and find news no matter where I am. 8.1 #GNED1411
