Hi Ben, thank you for your post on your experience with social media in education! I appreciate how you addressed both the benefits as well as the challenges that come with using social media in education as it can be a tricky area to navigate. While social media definitely can be distracting, I agree that it can be very useful when communicating with peers about course work. I also found your discussion about misinformation online really important as that’s something I touched on in my blog post as well. Misinformation spreads especially fast on social media platforms when people parrot things they’ve seen/heard without verifying it first. Especially with the advancements in AI, it can be really hard to distinguish what’s real and what’s fabricated. I wonder if you could also discuss another strategy that students can use to evaluate the credibility of sources they find online, beyond just looking for sources that utilization citations. Overall, great job! I can tell you have very strong writing skills.
