@kasandrakeenan7 I totally agree! I gained more insight on how "private" your personal information really is throughout this course. I learned that a lot of the info you put out there, stays out there for life.

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

@EmmanuellaOkon7 Yes! Learning about the different types of social media their functions was a really interesting part of this course for me!

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

I have become more conscious of my own personal use of social media. I think that it has allowed me to realize how much I relied on it every day, and has encouraged me to take a step back and use it for other things rather than personal use. #GNED1411 14.2

1. How social media can be used for business promotion.
2. My personal contribution to social media.
3. How it can be both a positive and a negative tool, depending on how you use it.#GNED1411 14.2

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

The most surprising thing I learned was how much social media really controls our lives. We don't often realize how much it is used in every day life. #GNED1411 14.2

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

I think that social media will change in our future and become amore of a business tool. I believe that more and more companies will realize how effective social media can be when promoting their company, and will probably hop on the train. #GNED1411 14.1

I think social media use in the classroom has the potential to be distracting, but I think it could be more beneficial to students learning than anything else. If you're using it in a productive way, I see nothing wrong with using social media in the classroom. #GNED1411 13.3

I think the use of twitter for my course work has been effective in helping me learn throughout this course. Using social media has been a very useful tool and I think it could benefit me in other courses as well. #GNED1411 13.2

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

@AlisarKousa I agree! I have used a few different apps to help me learn different languages other than my own!

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

@ashlyn_macleod Same here! I agree!

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

I have used Twitter for educational purposes. I use this app to participate in this course and do all of my course material. #GNED1411 13.1

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

@krazylenni Social media has given a voice to the LGBTQIA community and allows them to further their message. I totally agree!

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

@NidhiPa46640203 I agree! Social media moved me to support Save the Children as well.

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

I think social media is very effective at supporting advocacy groups. They give these organizations a platform to spread their message. I have been moved to support certain causes through social media such as the Save The Children movement. #GNED1411 12.2

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

The BLM movement has used social media to enhance their platform and spread their message in a positive and defining way. This resonates with me because I am a big supporter of their movement and the things that they stand for. #GNED1411 12.1

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

Long term, I think the impact of social media on society will be pretty positive. Social media enables you to promote small businesses, products, etc. This will have a great impact on the way our economy runs. #GNED1411 11.2

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

I contribute to the participatory economy by posting each week on this twitter account for my social media assignments. #GNED1411 11.1

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

Yes. I believe that the social media use of the candidate DOES impact my vote. Seeing candidates active through social media and using it as a positive way to create change and spread awareness is important to me when voting. #GNED1411 10.3

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

The government has used social media to promote mental health awareness. There are countless ads that come up on mental health awareness which say "sponsored by the government of Ontario" on them. I think this is really important. #GNED1411 10.2

[Rianna Smith @ri_smithhh]

@PerusinJasmine totally agree. having complete transparency between the government and the people is key in todays society/world.
