What world have we created where kids as young as ten and who have their whole lives ahead of them commit suicide. Bullying has to stop and social media is just contributing to making this issue stronger and bigger. #EDUC307

Technology poses a threat to the online world and its constant evolution is also threatening to take away jobs and replacing them with the use of automated machines. You can now do self-checkout in stores and even order on a screen at mcdonalds. #EDUC307

@kwakuw1 True, we have already seen a regression when it comes to talking face-to-face with people. Texting is now the most used tool when it comes to communication and we can also take appointments and order online. Will there ever be a limit on using devices to accomplish tasks?#EDUC307

@Sumaiya_ConU It educates people on the proper ways to use social media. It enhances its benefits while minimizing cases of misconduct. #lesson13 #EDUC307

Social media can be used to extort money from people. Fake GoFundMe pages and emails asking for confirmation of passwords are that events that often occur . We always have to search the source of request before giving away information or money. #EDUC307

Our primary responsibility as citizens of the digital age is to be informed on the possible harmful ways to use technology. We must learn how to gain the most benefits from it while minimizing its inconveniences. #EDUC307

People often abuse of the use of Internet to find answers to their questions. Using google to find a self-diagnosis related to a health problem is not the way to go. Although today's technology offers great tools sometimes going to the primary resource is better. #EDUC307

Integrating digital technologies in a classroom can be beneficial for students with learning disabilities. It provides a whole new set of tools that can be adapted to the students needs. #EDUC307

[Sabrina Blanchette @sabblanchette]

Technology is reducing the amount of time we spend interacting with each other in real-life. People don't make that many phone calls anymore and prefer to text or send emails. It is important to teach kids the value of communication outside the digital world. #EDUC307

@linaconcordia The media is portraying women as being brainwashed and oppressed by the patriarchy. They make it seem as if all they do is not by choice but by command. #EDUC307

[Sabrina Blanchette @sabblanchette]

@educ307evan The media has installed fear in people. They only talk about negative events connected to Muslims and make them seem dangerous as a whole when the majority of murders that occurred in Canada were carried out by native Canadians. #EDUC307

@Janietesl18 I don't think Disney is to blame for this because this issue of negative views towards other ethnicities started way before Disney existed and is still going on today. #EDUC307

[Sabrina Blanchette @sabblanchette]

No one can hide from negative reactions in regards to what they post on social media. Thinking twice before posting anything and analyzing the possible consequences before posing actions is important. Once you send it you can't take it back. #EDUC307

Social media plays a big role in politics. It provides a way for citizens to voice their opinions/concerns and for politicians to get in touch with the population. #EDUC307

[Sabrina Blanchette @sabblanchette]

Children should learn how to create concise, structured and respectful messages. These tools will be useful in school and later on when on the job market. #EDUC307 #lesson12

[Sabrina Blanchette @sabblanchette]

We can use our access to the internet that makes us connected to spread the word about issues that have to be taken care of and come in help to others. #EDUC307 #lesson12

[Sabrina Blanchette @sabblanchette]

Social media has greatly increased our knowledge on other cultures and opened our perspective on what is going on in other parts of the world. #EDUC307 https://t.co/m6PZNsUBku

[Clarissa @ClarBelle1]

It is really eye-opening when you think about just how much social media connects us all... We can learn about things happening thousands of miles away, without taking one step. #Lesson12

Integrating the positive and negative aspects of the use of digital technologies in a classes curriculum is important. This will help people to learn how to use them to their full potential while doing it in a safe and responsible way. #EDUC307

[Sabrina Blanchette @sabblanchette]

It is important to expose children to the risks linked with the use of social media. Such as: cyberbullying, phishing, privacy... We have to ensure that they have the necessary tools to use social media in a responsible way. #EDUC307

Capitalism is controlling social media. It has populated it with ads and created this trend where companies track users data to send them targeted promotions. Everything is about money. #EDUC307
