14.3 Question 3
With what I've learned, I'll be able to apply knowledge to manage social media accounts better, while also having a general greater idea of how people feel about social media and the content they view on it.

14.3 Question 2
The three most useful things I've learned in this course would have to be, terms used to describe things about social media, how social media is changing people and how social media has evolved over time.

14.3 Question 1
The most surprising thing I learned about it was the amount of different terminology it had and how much it actually changed people, for better or for worse.

At this point, I don't think anything can really catch on. The main social media platforms have too many features while also being simplistic enough to use that there's really no point in using anything else.

Social Media will change in the future based on however the general public opinion is on things. I also believe it will become a lot more interactive as time goes on.

13.3
Social Media in classrooms can vary in both ways of whether its good or bad, but it is usually bad. Most of the time it is used is because a student is bored in class, and not many assignments utilize social media.

There are quite a few ways social media can be used in education. It can serve as quite a good tool for connecting students and teachers (albeit through school-purposed accounts), and allows for different types of assignments.

13.1
I have used social media for education for many projects over the years. Many for different business and politics classes I participated in during my high school career.

12.3
It factually does make a difference, but I'd imagine not by very much. It is pointless, especially because trends similar to that are not as popular as they used to be.

12.2
An example I can think of is an activist promoting a protest or flash mob for an event.

12.1
I do not think Social Media makes a big impact in terms of supporting activism and advocacy. At most, it can promote it through words on a screen or audio. I have never supported a cause because of Social Media moved me to do so.

An example of crowdfunding I know of is a game console called the Ouya, created by Julie Uhrman. It raised $8.5M dollars in only 29 days

One way I contribute to Participatory Economy is through these very tweets that you are reading right now. These tweets from everybody in the class result in a thriving online community

For the 2019 election, I personally believe social media didn't play as big of a factor compared to other elections, as the candidates weren't too differing from the previous one and most people already knew the outcome anyways.

10.3
Social Media was a big factor of the 2016 election, as that's the year I believe that social media started playing a big role in elections. Especially with Donald Trump becoming a laughing stock to the entire internet.

I do think I fall into the Citizen 2.0 category because I couldn't imagine voting without gaining a lot of knowledge and an opinion of a presidential candidate first. I think openness and transparency is good for a candidate because it lets us know them better.

10.1
Yes, it does make an impact, and I'd imagine it would for everyone else as well. It's a form of communication and advertising, it's no different compared watching a presidential candidate delivering the same information in person

An instance of crowdsourcing that I remember is the Mcdonalds "My Burger" campaign, where people could create their own burger and the top 5 best-voted burgers would be released by Mcdonalds

One example is how Mcdonalds does a lot of promotions on their Twitter page, they're even doing one right now. Posting something related to their product for a chance to get featured on their feed.

My favourite off the top of my head would be Mcdonalds, and it is a Wallflower. Their social media presence doesn't really affect how much I prefer it over other fast foods, I just really love Mcdonalds and its been my favourite pretty much forever
