EDUC 307

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

Digital code as the closing lesson for EDUC 307 is certainly fitting as it reminds us to always check what we share online and be responsible digital citizens. #lesson13 #educ307

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

@talya_freidman Yes because it's updated real-time. However, some "news outlets" on the internet and social media are not exactly reliable - that's the scary part of reading the news from the internet #lesson12

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

This is one of the reasons why organizations use the top-down model tbh #lesson12

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

@HoyteLia I think they use this as a way to control what information comes out of the organization. At least the organization cannot be blamed if something goes wrong - they have released an "official statement" regarding the matter anyway 💁‍♀️#lesson12

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

YES! Digital citizenship can help us with this! #lesson12

[Gaurav Patel @GauravPatel3344]

Kids are picking up technology at such an early age now, its inevitable. The best we can do is adapt and teach them how to properly use them by incorporating it into our school curriculum to teach them how to communicate and navigate the online world. #lesson12

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

@SabMaiorano8 This is true. Pre-interenet, you can just ignore current events by not reading the newspaper or not watching the news. Sometimes it makes me anxious too. Media focuses too much on the negative #lesson12

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

YES! However this may also be used by the opposing factions. Social media is also used by people who just wanna watch the world burn :/ #lesson12

[Kyra Bates @KyraBates14]

I think that in the end as long as social media is used correctly and if it's in relation to making a difference, I think that they can successfully make a change in the world, especially if the content was to go viral on social media! #Lesson12

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

@pgiouzelis_ I used to have a monthly subscription of a teen-oriented magazine.... Those were the days... Now as soon as you open any social media platform, news about politics, celebrities, music. They just bludgeon you with all these unnecessary info #lesson12

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

@Samara_Gontov I definitely agree. While social media and the internet has made it easier for everybody to update their friends and loved ones, not all information or events in one's life should be posted online for everyone to see #lesson12 #educ307

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

@Samara_Gontov Exactly! Also in using this model, they can ensure that all of the members of the organizations are on the same page regarding the issue or topic. #lesson12 #educ307

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

Same, I still watch the news sometimes. But like what you said, social media and the internet in general is updated - every second there's new information coming out about a certain topic or issue. #lesson12

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

organizations use top-down communication models in order for them to control the messages that they disseminate among their members #lesson12 #educ307

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

Disney has improved recently in their portrayal of gender, race and ethnicity with movies such as Moana and Coco. #lesson11 #educ307

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

however, the same media somehow manages to distort the issue and make it seem like feminism, in a nutshell, is pitting women against men #lesson10 #educ307

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

feminist media activism has helped shed light on issues concerning gender equality by making these visible and known to the public #lesson10 #educ307

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

The way terms and conditions are written is very difficult for an ordinary citizen to consume... that's why almost everyone skips it and just clicks on "agree" #lesson9 #educ307

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

YES! Cite cite cite whenever you can! Do not pass other people's work as your own. This way we can respect the amount of work the researchers have put into their projects. #lesson8 #educ307

[Q. @Manny_EDUC307]

Citing is very important when it comes to writing research report because it shows the reader that you done your research properly. You are actively acknowledging the contribution of other researchers by providing a list of where you got your information from. #lesson8

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

@MicozziSabrina @Mudir307 This is true. It's also easier for the researcher's part as they can immediately pull out the data they will be needing from the responses without the painstaking paper-and-pen method #lesson8 #educ307

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

Using mixed-method research too provides a more in depth analysis of a certain topic. Say combining qualitative and quantitative research. For example statistical analysis at the same time some focus-group discussions too #lesson8 #educ307

[AlessiaVella @AlessiaVella9]

Using a combination of many research components can help a research paper. For instance, not just having journal articles, but also including books. #Lesson8

[Maria Cabrera @mcabrer68401017]

@MethunSunthara2 Exactly. Each component imparts a quality or a certain type of information that's needed for the whole research to make sense. #lesson8 #educ307
