Even though there are benefits to using technology which improve their civic action within their environment, it can still be a learning curve for students if there is no supervision.

Surveys can be given to students to learn whether they used technology for any civic engagement purposes.

tudents were given some options to create an educational campaign by using social media apps (Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram) or create a short educational video which would have the student talk about a topic of their choice for 30 seconds to 2 minutes

nfortunately students were unable to engage in these activities since the semester happened during the pandemic.

There are different types of technology that can be used for civic engagement purposes. Smartphones, social media, mobile apps and online platforms have all been used to spread awareness or as a tool to complete assignments about civic engagement.

Upon reflection after the course I wanted a learners’ lack of skill set to memorize content from a powerpoint by interacting with students during the presentation to model annotation skills by highlighting the main point

The idea for this presentation was to provide students with an interesting topic so that the results would show more students retained knowledge due to memorization because it was a topic that was more meaningful and interesting as opposed to something they would read in a textbook. The presentation was also an opportunity to relate my experiences to future John Jay transfer students about what to expect when they get there so they can succeed and take advantage of all the opportunities offered to them.
