@IbrahimEDUC307 Do you think that would work?

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@AmandaGaglia92 This is true. As much as we'd like to ignore it, hate speech will always exist and we need to be taught how to address it.

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@alisontellos Definitely something to think about. We only see a tiny fraction of what's out there, based on popularity and amount of views.

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

If we're gonna take anything away from this course, it's that digital code exists and that we need to be aware of it at all times. #Lesson13

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@alisontellos I think we are disturbed by their hate speech. It's scary to think that some people still have that hateful frame of mind... 😐

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@AmandaGaglia92 Yeah! Everything we type or view is saved and used to amplify our online experience later on.

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@alisontellos Yeah! I mean we all know it exists but we still go online everyday and get lured in by the ads on Facebook and other social media sites.

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

Spreading awareness is one thing, but actively realizing that digital code is occurring on a daily basis is difficult. #Lesson13

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

After taking this course, we are all well aware of the "dangers" of social media. And yet we are still victims of digital code. #Lesson13

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

Digital code delivers information online and amplifies our online experience without us knowing. #Lesson13

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@alisontellos Yeah, News probably take the time to figure out how they want to spread their message. Social media just posts info directly for us to see.

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@alisontellos Downside: These organizations can make us "targets of communication" by having us pass on their messages, instead of sharing our own beliefs

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@alisontellos I also like that several people can post about the same issues, giving us different opinions and perspectives than the news broadcasters.

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@samanthamakro This is especially true in YouTube broadcasts, where the filmmakers can show the raw footage of events that happened in real time.

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@nat_ryan1995 Yup! Through cyberspace, not only can hundreds of people unite, but they can communicate at a first-person account with anyone in the world.

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

The power of social and participatory media became evident when digital communication started being used for survival. #Lesson12 #ArabSpring

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

Organizations like UNDP use top-down communication models so that they can have control over all their discussions. #Lesson12

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

The strategies in the Taxonomy of Practical Applications can help children prepare for life in the Information Age. #Lesson12

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

When we are connected globally, we can spread awareness and information that would otherwise not be available to everyone. #Lesson12

[Lisa Sassi @sassi307]

@alisontellos The writers probably didn't overthink and analyze their work as much as the critics have. This may be the problem...
