This is my entry to the Hive Learners weekly contest.
Social media is a place in which we meet with people and interact with them. In social media, it gives more visibility to get new friends; it can also help you strengthen or also keep in great touch with those who are already our friends. It can influence people, as there are people who tend to promote one thing or the other, which can influence our choices towards those things.
There are good things in which one can learn from social media, whereas there are some bad things in which one can learn there, as they said whatever has advantages might also have disadvantages.
Based on the prompts, adding social media as a course would also help people. It would bring insight into great things to students at large. Things that were planned and done very well are always, by God's grace, much different from unplanned events. A well-structured course like my title, "Social Media 101, would really serve as an eye-opener to people. It would help to teach people digital literacy, how in one way or the other to be equipped with the knowledge in which they are supposed to in the online platform.
It is also good to teach them online safety, showing them how to apply the safe practices in which they are supposed to be applying in order to help them know how to go about things in there. Responsible social media use is also amazing in the course, as the course would help in the laid-down principles and formats of ways in which one should use the platform responsibly.
These teachings would be a nice thing. People with knowledge, in as much as there are good things and the bad ones, would now try to use the knowledge to work towards the disadvantage in order to manage the situation. In social media, it is not different, as this psychological effect, as a big effect of social media, would be helped to be tackled. In there we can see one situation or the other; it might be true or not, but it tends to affect the way we see or now reason things. This course being now introduced would be of great help to students in that they can distribute the knowledge to others in places in which they might find themselves. With the psychological impact, it can really help improve one's mental well-being to be in a safer mental health, and it can also help one to prevent having low self-esteem. Areas would cover great aspects so that social media will be a place, and actions done there can also, in great ways, be accountable to.
Education is power and really helps, so the course would create good awareness for people to know how and what in which they are supposed to do online and also do them very well.
Social media 101 would also have a long way in help in one way or the other.
We keep hoping for the best. 馃檹
