I still can't wrap my head around that fact. It feels so private.

[Clara Mai @claramai11]

#lesson9 It's true that when I text my friends I forget that it's possible that someone may be monitoring our conversation. In the moment, I feel like my friend is the only recipient/person who has access to those messages, when in reality that's probably not the case...

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

Ones that come to mind?
Best - Connection to others and power to influence others positively.
Worst - Bullying and hate spread.

[Clara Mai @claramai11]

What is the best and worst part of social media?

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

I especially appreciate that there is no prince that swoops the princess off her feet. She can take care of herself ya know.

[Carlee Linder @CarleeLinder12]

#lesson11 I've watched both the more modern Disney movies and the older ones that initially were released. I think the one thing that did change and improve is the fact that there are more female empowered roles, such as Frozen and Moana. #EDUC307

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

Its definitely a great idea. Observing their improvements and faults can help you see if they really make an effort to change.

[Carlee Linder @CarleeLinder12]

#lesson11 I feel like anytime I watch a Disney movie I'm going to really analyze every detail to see if there was any other progress and improvement they've made since the release of the first movies. #EDUC307

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

I feel that it is a breach of a students privacy. You do not have permission to see my room.

[Meagan Laurin @meaganlaurin1]

If you are against proctored exams, why?

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

Absolutely. Everyone should internalize this. Many forget this.

[Victoria Vieira @educ307_vic]

Digital etiquette cannot be forgotten about or ignored once globally connected with others. #lesson12

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

@educ307_vic I've always wondered this. I feel that its important for teachers to communicate that they understand that not every student has access to technology at home. It probably doesn't feel great to feel like the odd one out.

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

Yes! It has become such a powerful education tool!

[Mikayla @UConMikaylaS]

YouTube has helped me learn so many things. Idk about you guys, but I’ve watched hundreds of tutorials that have guided me throughout my entire life #lesson12

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

I think it definitely influences how we perceive the information in the videos. When there is no narrator, we can choose what we take from and understand in the videos.

[Mikayla @UConMikaylaS]

The YouTube videos of the protests in lesson 12 are great examples of how something may appear as one thing on screen, but have an entirely different story in reality. Where is the narrator? What is really happening? #lesson12

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

This is especially true if we cant always voice our views on social media. We begin to see that our freedom is increasingly limited.

[Mikayla @UConMikaylaS]

With that being said, technology gives us the illusion of freedom because although we can express ourselves as we wish, there will always be consequences of our actions, whether they're positive or negative, & whether they affect us or not 3/3 #lesson5

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

This is true, but we can also get so distracted by random nonsense on the internet.

[Emmy Fecteau @FecteauEmmy307]

Staying educated and active in our culture, as well as staying connected with individuals all around the world, is made easier with social media. #lesson12 #educ307

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

I find that less and less people know how to communicate their issues properly. This is a crucial skill to have.

[MeghanGil @MeghanGil21]

communication is a crucial aspect in everyday lives wether it’s with a colleague, in a friendship or even relationship. a lot of information can be misconstrued or misunderstood if not without it! #lesson12

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

I always have appreciated when the words have meaning... not another song about breakups lol

[MeghanGil @MeghanGil21]

personally i focus on the lyrics of the songs… what about you guys? #lesson13

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

@MeghanGil21 Exactly. It becomes a deadly weapon

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

Omg yes! I even did an experiment in the beginning to see if its true. Why is this normal?

[Caroline Lunney @CarolineLunney]

Nothing freaks me out more then when I talk about something with somebody and then suddenly my phone starts showing me ads for it!! #lesson9

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

I especially have been feeling this a lot more each year. The lines are getting thinner

[Caroline Lunney @CarolineLunney]

It is scary to think about how little privacy we truly have online #lesson9

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

Absolutely! There is so much importance in education of internet use!

[Caroline Lunney @CarolineLunney]

I think that interest safety should be taught in schools! When I was a kid, I had no idea what cookies were and what they did. Teaching kids about the dangers of the internet is the only way to protect them. #lesson9

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

@CarolineLunney Its true, but sometimes I feel like its not authentic and ends up being more offensive if anything.

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

@DanielSpina14 Definitely! Although social media can only take you so far, its a great starting point.

[Shirley Arnstein @s_arnste]

Its so sad that bullies have a new way to hurt people!

[Daniel Spina @DanielSpina14]

Social media has also seen its downside as many people do hide behind their screens on "burner" accounts and choose to spread hate and negativity. #lesson12
