I love your title, Hana. And you raise a good point, how are students to practice SELF-motivated work, rather than grade motivated.
Comment on Social media: distraction or education? by Allie Briggs
I too am suspicious of social media–I have stopped using Facebook recently. I really worry about the collection of data about me and others–like being able to identify me by collecting data on my face, etc. Creepy. Although, at the same time, I think that if we are to critique social media, we need to know it. Can we know it without getting involved in it?
