I use Youtube, Google, Onenote and Outlook almost every day. Google, Onenote and Outlook are all for school purposes expect on the weekends.

I learnt how impactful words and images can be to people online and how you can change what you say by thinking about it. In my Padlet comment I mentioned that social media has such an effect on our everyday lives. I mentioned this because we do not know much better then to go onto social media or technology when we are bored. This means we are more prone to the bad comments that people say because we spend more time on social media then we ever have before. This was very interesting as I thought that people would not listen to the bad comments and turn off the social media platform.

I also learned that some people will jump off bridges based on what they saw from a video on the internet. I also mentioned in my padlet I also found the influence of social media had on people. This was displayed in the video where the person was going to jump off the bridge but thought about it then did a test with a watermelon and didn’t do it. This shows what people will do to look cool after they see a video. This also displays critical thinking. This is described in Lesson 2.

I do not do a lot of social media activity by interacting with other people by chat but I will take what I say into deeper consideration before I post what I do. I do plan to change my online activity but because I do not interact with other people online I will increase my behavior standards.

My future goal on social media will be to create a group online that shows and tells the dangers of online and the effects it has on people. This goal will help me in the future as more people will become social media aware and therefore less people will be bullied online. It has the potential to help me in the future in case I am bullied online.
