For my groups Ed Tech Inquiry, we chose the topic ‘The Effects of Social Media on Youth’s Mental Health.’ During this weeks class my group which consits of Morgan, Hailey and Kylee got together to discuss the path we wanted to go for this assignment. After a lengthy discussion we decided on providing the presenation with postives as well as negatives that social media can contribute to the individuals.

This sparked my interest and the rest of the group members as we have each individually been affected negatively in some way by social media. Therefore we each want to be able to share the information of how to get past this, how to not let it affect us and what we can do to change it. We have already watched 2 ted talks on the subject which have been very informative. We will also be using scholarly articles to find the route of the problem. The group has agreed that meeting once a week to discuss our plan of action is completely doable and will allow us to prepare a presenation that represents all the work we hope to put in it to the best of our ability. To keep everyone on track we have developed a Trello Board which has a to do list for each one of us and we even colour coded our tasks to ensure success. We are currently off to a strong start and I cant wait to continue the research on this topic in order to share our learning efficiently with everyone in the class.

The TedTalk we found was…
