KN: "If we continue to blur the lines and actually embrace using social media in the classroom, then we can better enable our students to have agency in their education [...] teachers no longer would need to be the gatekeepers of all the information." (Note #2664) #ctl5015chat

Quoting JC: "I think the education system needs to do a better job with allowing for "flexible outcomes" in curriculum. Otherwise, I think there will always be a clear divide between formal and informal learning. " (Note #2634) #formal #informal #learning #blend #ctl5015chat

Quoting HC: "I think it is troubling that the curriculum does not connect explicitly to digital citizenship, especially since 99% of Canadian children in grades 4 to 11 are using the internet (Beran et al., 2015)" (Note #2547) #digitalcitizenship #socialmedia #ctl5015chat

AH: "One way to foster empathy among students within the context of the classroom is to integrate habits of mind or "mindsets," and more specifically empathetic habits of mind that involve listening to and understanding others" (Note #2438) #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting TK "I believe that it is important to “teach empathy” to adult students as behaviours can be so well established that they may not be aware of their actions or lack of empathy." (Note #2435) #empathy #behaviours #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting JC: "educators and parents need to be well educated [about cyberbullying] in order to deal with these matters, rather than let them go "unnoticed"" (Note #2412) #cyberbullying #proactive #education #socialmedia #ctl5015chat

Quoting LV: "we need to teach our students empathy and perspective in the classroom, however this would be important to include even if social media didn't exist" (Note #2220) #empathy #perspective #tolerance #cyberbullying #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting DT: "If we're thinking about access, we need to think about how students might need to spend their time at home before we ask that they perform school work on a resource that many houses have four of. " (Note #2189) #time #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

KN: "I wonder if parents and teachers got together to work to force more equity into the classrooms, could we actually see fewer students going without [digital access]?" (Note #2159) #teachers #parents #advocates #digitalaccess #equity #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting VL: " it is evident that the "preventative" approach towards technology is heavily favoured." (Note #2176) #toomuchfocusonFEAR #socialmeda #education #digitalcitizenship #digitalleadership #ctl5015chat

KN: "I know that a lot of teachers love to get updates about how their students are doing and being able to connect with them after they leave the school [...]The problem is [...] this can leave your colleagues at risk." (Note #1912) #risks #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting TK " I see more value in face-to-face personal anecdotes in building connections (active listening, tone, facial expressions). " (Note #1886) #facetoface #connection #bodylanguage #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting AH "While, more professions are increasingly expected to engage with social media and have an online presence, I do not think this is a trend in education." (Note #1869) #socialmedia #education #trends #ctl5015chat

Quoting JL "One student-teacher relationship that I really appreciate is that the teacher is the critical friend of the student" (Note #1867) #canteachersbefriendswithstudents #befriendingstudents #taboo #orNo #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting JZ: "one of the most important thing teachers should do is protect themselves, and to me this is something that can be as simple as changing your privacy settings." (Note #1762) #protectingourselves #teachers #privacy #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting CC: "But maybe the extreme vagueness is purposeful? When statements are vague, more actions can fit under them. " (Note #1692) #vaguenessinlaws #purposefulvagueness #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting JC: " I think we need to define what it means to truly behave apolitically in the classroom. " (Note #1582) #teacherspoliticalstance #shouldwebeneutral #neutralisstatusquo #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting CKC "[Social media] absolutely creates additional anxieties because of the pressure to constantly be connected and present the best version of ourselves on various platforms." (Note #1619) #stayingconnected #anxiety #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

Quoting CC:"I don’t think the apolitical vs political debate is so black and white. The “grey area” that exists is why we need to tread these waters carefully." (Note #1604) #areteacherspolitical #teachershaveavoice #socialmedia #education #ctl5015chat

SJ: "Maybe we are under-estimating the ways that students are able to navigate the worlds of formal and in-formal setting where they would use proper grammar and spelling and other instances where it is more accepted to spell incorrectly or differently" (Note #1431) #ctl5015chat
