I think that if they wanted accurate information, they should have not only increased the sample size, but sampled a greater variety of students. It would have been interesting to see how Stanford undergraduates compared to Central Michigan undergraduates, or historians with different focuses. Mon, 29 Oct 2018 09:06:58 -0400 AAP v. ACPeds https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143783 https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143783 I'm really confused on how people thought ACPeds was more reliable (or as reliable) as the AAP. Wouldn't it be obvious if a group was bashing a sexuality and calling them pedophiles that the information was extremely biased? I wonder if they even read any information or just judged by a few of the beginning paragraphs and the layout of the website (pictures, logo, etc.) Mon, 29 Oct 2018 11:43:21 -0400 What are kids struggling with? https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143781 https://nowcomment.com/documents/117210?scroll_to=1143781 Personally, I think kids are smarter than what the video gives us credit for. I believe most kids can make a sound judgement between the New York Times vs. Buzzfeed on which is most reliable. In addition, most of the time people are clicking on the first source it's because they're looking for quick, convenient information, not scholarly research. I think kids struggle the most with things that we don't exactly know how to teach, like finding credible information from websites that might be biased but look legitimate, like some news sites. Mon, 29 Oct 2018 10:50:13 -0400 I would also say that a lot of teens are worried about expressing themselves creatively because they are worried about what other people will say. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1115323 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1115323 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 15:16:14 -0400 We know that technology companies are purposefully creating these apps to waste our time and still use them regardless... that's scary. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1115322 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1115322 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 15:14:22 -0400 Do we draw the line for teens at 13? And also, where was this study? I wonder if the statistic would be different if they surveyed different locations or types of schools. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1115321 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1115321 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 15:12:40 -0400 I often forget about things such as create and share art or discussing politics that uses social media and technology in a positive, educational way. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1115319 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1115319 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 15:10:27 -0400 Same! I feel like that is a perfect description of even how I feel about many things posted online. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1104854 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1104854 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 23:29:11 -0400 This is so true. It's hard to tell if social media is a good or bad thing sometimes, especially when we can't corner a specific app for being one or the other because it can be both. It's fun to keep in touch with friends, but we might also feel lonely. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1104853 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1104853 Tue, 18 Sep 2018 23:28:30 -0400 I don't think everyone checks their phone that often, but I think that most of us check them more than we think. When we're bored, in an awkward situation, or just walking most people's reaction is to go online (which isn't always a bad thing). https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1099927 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1099927 Mon, 17 Sep 2018 13:54:50 -0400 At first I thought that this sounded ridiculous; checking your phone so often is such a waste of time. The more I thought about it, though, the more I realized that I often do this, even if it's just to check the time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1099902 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1099902 Mon, 17 Sep 2018 13:52:14 -0400
