For this response post, I have foucusde on Andrea Pizot’s blog #1.
I fully agree with the positive role of social media in education, especially how it enables us to access global resources and diverse perspectives. Like myself, I often discover new artistic inspirations on Instagram and TikTok, and learn about creativity and ideas from around the world. These platforms not only helped me broaden my horizons, but also made me realize how lively and interesting learning can be. Another major advantage of social media is that it promotes cooperation on a global scale. The instructional videos on YouTube also provide me with almost endless learning content, and the linguistic diversity of these contents allows me to be exposed to knowledge from different cultural backgrounds.
However, as Andy mentioned, social media also has its challenges. It can indeed easily distract us, especially when we are constantly scrolling through updates. More importantly, the authenticity of information is also a matter of concern, as the internet is filled with a large amount of inaccurate or misleading information. This reminds me to be more cautious when using social media and ensure that the information I obtain comes from reliable sources. Therefore, I believe that finding the right balance is very important. As students, we should learn to use social media to serve our learning, rather than just enjoying the entertainment it brings. Teachers should also help us understand how to find suitable learning methods in the world of social media, and remain vigilant to protect our privacy and safety.
