Learning/Online Behaviour on Mental Health via Social Media Overview Cyberbullying refers to the use of digital platforms like social media, messaging apps, and almost any online platform to harass, threaten, or demean other individuals.

Hey Frankie, I really enjoyed reading your blog post. Your idea of using the TedEd video as a springboard into a bedtime routine activity is really practical and creative. I think learners would benefit from the personal connection and reflection that comes with designing their own routine, especially when paired with peer feedback. It’s great…
The video I chose to evaluate is “Is it Cyberbullying?” which is a brief informative digital resource that introduces students to real-life examples of cyberbullying and explains how to respond appropriately. It does not require inherent interaction from students while watching as it is a passive, linear video with no embedded questions. Therefore, it does…

Hey Vicci, I really enjoyed reading about your personal learning experience! Your story about the mini market in your high school marketing class is a cool example of how constructivism works in real life. It’s so interesting how the concepts that once felt abstract became meaningful and memorable once you applied them through hands-on experience….
Experiential learning focuses on learning by direct experience, reflection, and application. It is based on the idea that learners construct knowledge more efficiently when actively engaged rather than passively accepting information. This approach is strongly aligned with constructivist learning theories and includes cycles of performing, reflecting, conceptualizing, and experimenting. When teaching a sensitive and difficult…
