Social media is everywhere. You use it. Your students use it. Your colleagues use it. Social media is a powerful platform for sharing information freely and widely. Access to social media has transformed the populace from consumers of information to interactive creators and distributors of information. It gives the average person the power to persuade and influence and allows for direct communication around the world. Social media is also a hotly debated source of misinformation and potentially harmful content.
How can we keep the positive aspects of social media without getting bogged down in the negative? How can we be responsible digital citizens who think critically about everything we encounter online? And how can we build that foundation with our students?
Join us for a discussion about social media and our role as informed citizens. As we learned from the Spiderman movies, "With great power comes great responsibility."
