Hi Ben!

Thank you for sharing your blog post! I really like that you acknowledged the fact that so many people view social media as a distraction, when in reality, it can be such a useful tool if used correctly. I also appreciate your stance on the fact that digital resources can really cut down time on tedious tasks and also act as supplementary tools for academic purposes. The amount of crash course videos I have watched is insane, but I truly do think they helped me understand course material more. I like that they are verbally informative and visually informative. It creates more opportunity for people of all different learning styles to gain information. I also really like the visual aesthetic of your website – how the blue contrasts with the black. Additionally, I appreciate you contrasting the good and the bad of social media being used for educational purposes. I am wondering if maybe a table laying out the pros and cons would be a good visual for this kind of comparison?
