I will use the information I learned to stand out and be my own person. Speak in what I believe in and never let social media come in the way of the most memorable times in life. sometimes we just need to turn the phone off and focus on what’s infront of you.
14.2 #GNED1411
The most useful things I learned in this course is that social media is an outlet for many different successes. How big the media really is and how everyone sees things from many different perspectives.
14.2 #GNED1411
The most surprising thing I learned about social media is how biased people can be. Social media has a lot of pros and cons and in my opinion I believe the cons overweigh the pros in a lot of different ways.
14.1 #GNED1411
I believe technology will continue to advance I just hope it doesn’t take over more of our life then it already does. Yes it’s beneficial and it always will be but it also takes away from the most precious moments in life as well.
13.3 #GNED1411
Social media is both beneficial and distracting. You can do quick research on the spot if need be, but the distraction part comes from students talking to their friends or scrolling on insta etc. Students need to learn how to put their phone down.
#GNED1411 13.2 I think more interactive videos should be implemented when teaching students to engage them so they don’t lose focus, videos have a way of capturing more attention rather than just talking through a lecture.
13.1 I have used social media to do research on a lot of work throughout this semester to expand my knowledge on certain topics etc. Google/YouTube #GNED1411
#GNED1411 I think that social media is a great way to support activism and advocacy. I've been moved online for multiple social movements which include BLM, & I have always shared posts regarding the movement and the voices of the people, when we come together we stand out. 12.2
#GNED1411 11.2 I think the long-term impact of social media will be negative for people’s mental health but good for the economy. Social media either tears people down or brings them up. But you can promote so much business on social media so there’s pros and cons to it.
1.1 #GNED I contribute to the participatory economy by using my social media platforms to welcome anyone to feel free to be themselves and open for conversation because people on social media can be cruel.
10.3 #GNED1411
I agree social media influences people’s voting decisions. Some people like to hop on the bandwagon and do what others do or they see false media and assume it’s true and abide by that when making their decisions to vote.
#GNED1411 10.2
I see daily notifications about covid updates and every-time I leave for work my grandfather is going on about it and how the cases are rising rapidly. It’s good that the government is keeping us up to date but are they really revealing the true amount of cases?
10.1 #GNED1411
I keep to myself and I’m not very into social media and politics I never have been interested in it and don’t plan on being interested in it. I rarely use social media as it is or watch the news so sometimes I’m behind on things that are going on in the world.
9.2 #GNED1411
Social media plays an important role in promoting businesses, from Instagram to Facebook to YouTube there’s so many platforms out there to help you advertise your company and attract customers.
9.1 #GNED1411 My favourite brand is Amazon. I use Amazon to buy a lot of things I need when I don’t have the time to get it myself. bonus: it’s 4.99 a month for students! Amazon always advertises over social media for their fast delivery and I’m glad I joined prime when I did.
#GNED1411 8.3 I agree that social media is able to alter and spread inaccurate information. People put out fake information all the time and many people will share it without checking for authenticity behind the source. This is a major problem we see in the media nowadays.
8.2 #GNED1411
the most effective way to combat the "echo chamber" is by being open to other people’s perspectives on social media.
For example there is a political debate going on, don't only follow the people who agree with you, also follow those who disagree with you.
8.1 #GNED1411 I use social media (Instagram/Snapchat/Facebook) for most of my news knowledge which I know isn’t always 100% liable or accurate, I would like to start watching the news channel for a reliable resource for information.
7.1 #GNED1411
I learned that most reviews on products are actually a marketing stunt to attract more buyers which is a good idea because when people see other people interacting or interested in a product they will want it themselves.
