Social Media & Learning (Catherine and Nicole)
In this episode, we talk about how social media impacts learning, and whether it is helping or hurting us. We expand and connect ideas from our readings, video, and real life experiences, such as learning from TikTok or YouTube. We also dive into how fast information spreads online, and how hard it can be to tell what is true. It is a mix of class concepts, informational prompts, and an interesting take on our own perspectives on learning in a digital world.
