If you were a parent today would you let your children have their own social media accounts? Would you feel the need to watch over them the same way you would at a playground? At what point do they deserve their own privacy? #educ307
Although social media companies can have an age limit to make accounts, how often do young eager children abide by the rules? I remember activating my facebook before I turned 13 #educ307
Have you ever felt alone sitting at a restaurant because all your friends are on their phones? I think we need to start prioritizing human connection over wifi connection #educ307
I find my motivation to complete course work is so much higher when I am genuinely engaged with the subject matter. Sometimes all it takes is an inspiring teacher to spark that joy #educ307
Although I only learned the term Orientalism in this class, I can think of so many instances where this ideology has been applied. It is ridiculous to think about how eurocentric many things are in our society. #educ307
I really enjoyed the focus on feminism, especially focused on Arab women. I don't think I would have ever been exposed to it without this course #educ307
@CEduc307 It is amazing to think about how absurd things are now watching with adult eyes! I could not believe how they made the princesses so subservient #educ307
@NEduc307 This is very true. One of my good friends in school had dyslexia and having a laptop helped her greatly. On the other hand having laptops saves the use of printing out excess paper. This is a huge environmental plus!
Lurking is an interesting concept. I for one admit to lurking on different online forums instead of making an account or leaving a digital footprint #educ307
Social media urges us to have quick reactions to everything. But I think to have a proper response we must have the time to reflect on other opinions. #educ307
Human interaction will always trump a text, tweet or poke. But, with the popularity of social media, are we on the verge of replacing social skills with digital networking skills? #educ307
Novel technology infused learning environments are fun to think about but aren't practical when applied to real educational situations. But, one day I dream about my childern having the chance to be taught along side robot teaching assistants #educ307
