This article has several amazing examples of how schools are actually using social media to help students learn. Way more creative (and useful) than I expected! #GNED1411

Should political candidates use social media during elections? #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

It's crazy how echo chambers (Wk 8) and political content (Wk 10) work together on social media. Algorithms show us what we already agree with, which makes it harder to hear out new ideas or opinions, especially around elections or social issues. #GNED1411

Echo chambers are such a big issue on social media! This post explains why it’s important to hear out other perspectives online. #GNED1411

Echo chambers polarize society, isolate individuals in ideological bubbles, and hinder effective communication. It's time to break free and embrace diverse perspectives.

People used to say social media was a waste of time, but now there are full careers built around it!! #GNED1411

This Chipotle tweet is a perfect example of how brands use humour and personality to connect with people. It sounds casual but still reinforces their brand. That kind of tone makes them feel more relatable and builds loyalty. #GNED1411

This article looks back at the #EndSARS movement and breaks down what worked and what didn’t. It shows how powerful social media was for raising awareness, even though real change takes more than just going viral. #GNED1411

This video explains how misinformation spreads online so quickly. It’s really eye-opening! #GNED1411

14.2 I’ll definitely use what I’ve learned in school and in everyday life. It’s helped me think more critically, be more mindful of what I post, and understand how media shapes opinions. #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

14.2 Top three things I learned: how to spot misinformation, how echo chambers work, and how social media impacts the way we connect with brands. All of it made me more aware of how I use social media. #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

14.2 Something that really surprised me was how much social media can impact real-life activism. I didn’t realize how many movements started online. It made me look at social media differently. #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

14.1 I think social media will keep getting more personalized, like using AI to show exactly what you want to see. I also think people will move toward smaller, private groups instead of posting everything publicly. #GNED1411

13.3  Social media can be super helpful for learning, but only if it's used in the right way. If it’s structured, like with hashtags or short recaps, it works. But without that, it turns into a distraction really fast. #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

13.2 I think it would be really helpful if teachers used Instagram or TikTok to post quick lesson recaps or even little study challenges. It would make things easier to remember and more engaging, especially for visual learners like me. #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

13.1 I use social media to help me learn outside of school. I watch study tips on TikTok, tutorials on YouTube, and follow pages on Instagram for psychology and fitness content. It keeps me motivated and helps me learn in a way that’s easier to understand. #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

12.2 Social media can be really effective for activism, it spreads awareness fast & gives people a voice. I’ve supported causes like BLM & mental health campaigns after seeing posts that educated & inspired me to take action. #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

The #EndSARS movement in Nigeria is a powerful example. Young people used Twitter & Instagram to share protests, raise awareness, and pressure the government. It showed how global attention can be drawn from social media. #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

11.2 I think social media will keep changing the economy long-term. We’ll see more digital jobs, influencers, and online businesses. But there’s also the downside like privacy issues, and misinformation. #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

11.1 I’ve been part of the participatory economy without even realizing it. I’ve sold clothes on Depop, bought from small creators on Etsy, and I always leave reviews to help other people decide what to buy. #GNED1411

[sophia lafontainegunn @user8372649102]

10.3 A candidate’s social media definitely impacts how I see them. It shows how they communicate and whether they actually engage with people. But I still make sure to research them more deeply before deciding anything. #GNED1411
