I believe that this method of finding information can be detrimental still, as it would be for finding information from physical sources. https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143844 https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143844 Mon, 29 Oct 2018 10:50:13 -0400 Absolutely agree. Still, it is a problem when it comes to understanding our world. https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143843 https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143843 Mon, 29 Oct 2018 10:46:35 -0400 Additionally, I question how they came to the conclusion of who was an "expert". It seems they specifically chose a certain small group that knew how to fact check by definition, while also limiting the sample size? https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143556 https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143556 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 21:21:24 -0400 This seems to be an incredibly small sample size, even if their intent was not to find a random sample. While specifically looking for testers is open to manipulative processes, the small sample sizes in both categories and overall size seems suspicious. https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143552 https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143552 Mon, 29 Oct 2018 09:06:58 -0400 Ah. So ACPeds is just as much a college as PragerU. That is to say, not even close to one. https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143510 https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143510 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 20:34:59 -0400 I feel like the argument that people have begun using the first results of web searches as facts does have merit. However, I do not believe this is limited to students and children, but applies to society in general. https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143138 https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143138 Mon, 29 Oct 2018 11:20:55 -0400 I feel like the argument that people have begun using first results as absolute truths is an interesting point, but I believe it does not just apply to students, but society in general. https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143134 https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143134 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 10:57:24 -0400 Hobb's comment supports the philosophy that the internet is often thought to provide a creative outlet for people, explaining why at least 1 one in four teens feel it is almost necessary for such purposes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1105466 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1105466 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 09:28:41 -0400 Yeah. When I get a call or message, I tend to wonder what it could be for, which, like you said, makes it hard to pay attention to current conversations. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1099254 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1099254 Mon, 17 Sep 2018 12:13:51 -0400 I feel the same. While you should be open to criticisms, even those that disagree with you, you don't have to necessarily utilize them if you feel they are detrimental to your product. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1098037 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1098037 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 20:55:27 -0400 True. Like anything, technology can become addictive. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1098034 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1098034 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 20:52:38 -0400 The statistic stating that one in four teens believe social media is important for creative expression shocked me. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097200 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097200 The statistic stating that one in four teens believe social media is important for creative expression shocked me. I would have thought, from how ingrained the internet has become in our society, it would have been a more popular outlet. This could be seen as helpful for parents who do not understand the internet's presence and significance. I don't often use social media sites, but I suppose I could use it as a mode of expression more often. Wed, 19 Sep 2018 09:28:41 -0400 Actually, I'm surprised the number of teens who believe it is important is so low. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097198 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097198 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 21:12:55 -0400 I think that the anonymity of posting works to the internet can be both good and bad. On the one hand, it can help protect someone from being targeted or from consequences. On the other, it could encourage a fear of transparency, and showings one's face. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097195 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097195 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 21:02:51 -0400 Despite using my phone a lot, I will admit that it sometimes makes it difficult to focus. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097193 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097193 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 12:32:41 -0400 It is important that one takes the steps to not get distracted from their work. However, it is also important that one does not become overly reliant on outright blocking others on social media, at the risk of seeming petty or trigger-happy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097176 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097176 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 22:37:02 -0400 I think my AP History class actually used Google Classroom, albeit it for a brief period. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097175 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097175 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 20:32:16 -0400 One consequence of the internet being such a free and accessible source is that there are people who will use it to spread hatred and demean others. I'm not saying this is a good thing, just a consequence. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097174 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097174 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 20:28:31 -0400 It's true that technology often does not convey emotion well, and that online interactions are not the same as those in person. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097173 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111910?scroll_to=1097173 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 20:25:18 -0400
