13.3- I think social media is great in the classrooom as it is the main source of information nowadays. It does get annoying though when students are expected to use it unrealistically. #GNED1411
13.2 - social media can be used in education to realistically teach students how social media is used on an everyday basis and how it impacts others around you. #GNED1411
12.2 - A great example for a group that uses social media to promote their activism is the "MeToo" movement which is for those against sexual violence & assault #GNED1411
12.1 - I believe social media is extremely important in supporting advocacy & activism of social causes/movements as it is the easiest way to gain supporters. I have taken part, numerous times, in supporting LGBTQ+ through social media handles/posts. #GNED1411
11.2 - A fairly recent example of crowdfunding is the social media campaign that was done for the Humboldt Broncos fundraisers for the family and survivors. A lot of money was raised in a short period of time by people posting their stories and creating awareness. #GNED1411
11.1 - I've contributed to the participatory economy by saving posts on Instagram from different companies and sharing them with others laters. #GNED1411
@Francis47664953 I never looked at it from this perspective, but I can see where you are coming from. It almost becomes an easy platform for candidates to just take shots at each other #GNED1411
10.3 - For the 2019 Canadian Federal Election, I believe social media had a heavy influence on voters. Most new voters used Twitter to find out news about the political parties & discuss their opinions. Trendy TikTok videos brought a positive reaction to the NDP party #GNED1411
