Social Media and Its Role in Education

Hi Therese nice to meet you!! Your blog post is really insightful, well-structured and easy to understand! I liked the way you linked creating learning communities and digital communities with study circles and Reddit forums caught my attention for sure. I found it really relatable when you were talking about self directed learning and about using YouTube to learn about the phases of Alzheimer’s. Maybe something you could elaborate on is how one might handle digital distractions on such public platforms? Another thing i thought of is maybe to include a brief example of how each learning style may use social media in order to summarize the different learning style kinds. Your conclusion really brought everything together super well, and your illustrations and citations were great! You kept me really interested the whole time i was reading, great post:)
