I haven't really had time to write more after the midterm, but I do appreciate this class and had a fun time. Thank you everyone!

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Just did the midterm! Was it hard? Yes, but nothing comes with a challenge these days! Also, with this type of content, I do not mind struggling a bit to have a good learning experience!

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

The zone of proximal development is an interesting idea. It shows that there is distance between getting help from someone else and doing it yourself.

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Damn. You don’t really understand how important Blooms taxonomy is until you really look at it. It is like....The basis of learning and teaching in a classroom.

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

This is why I love constructivism so much. It helps students learn from their experiences and how they work in order to learn how to do things in their every day lives

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Looking back at the LittleBigPlanet theory in a learning environment, it really helps students because it gives them the sense of creation and creativity, like they have control of their education

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Never heard of SixDegrees before this class. Always thought the first ever social media website would be something that stuck around like Facebook or Linkedin.

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

I forgot how early the internet was invented. I always thought it was early 2000s but it was actually mid 1990s. Crazy how long it has been around.

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

I never really used blogs myself, but after seeing it in this class, I think it is safe to say that I can be effective in a learning environment. If students were able to blog about their class, then that would help them in the long run

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Back to how we can engage students in learning how to use social media in classrooms, I think if we encourage them to connect with the teachers and fellow classmates, I think it will help the children learn more and be more engaged in class

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Is iTunes really a social media? Its just a music platform. What is the social part of It? And I missing something?

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

I remember when I started my own Facebook account. I was like 10 years old and I was too young to have it. But it was a good tool to have to be able to connect with distant friends and family so that’s why some social media should be implemented in class.

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Now looking at social media in classrooms and thinking what can work and not work, there are so many different platforms. Facebook...Twitter...YouTube...Reddit...even TikTok. Some might work but others might not. Like TikTok. Wouldn’t that be more of a distraction than anything?

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Is it just me or does anyone else find these journal questions interesting? Like, I feel enganged when I do them and I have fun writing my answers

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Time to take a rewind back in time and see the subjects gain for the midterm!

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

After looking at all of the chapters for the Midterm, it is interesting to see the definition of social media again. It feels as if it makes more sense now than it did before.

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Looking at Bill C-30, this is essential for privacy to work. This is a big problem in our world today and this bill really helps

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Privacy is a big thing for social media and their users, so for social media to be usable in a class environment, I think that it is important to focus on privacy!

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Putting the panopticon into practice for the sake of the chapter, I think it worked to see the link between privacy and the panopticon!

[William Hayes @willhayes2049]

Oh, the panopticon makes a grand return! I have studied it religiously because of how much I love the concept! It is great to see once again
