The tweet and the period this tweet represents are fascinating, as this tweet was posted in 2013, and many people may have believed that their personal digital life couldn't be traced back to their work life. But with social media sites becoming more ingrained in our lives, the distinction between digital life and work life is interconnecting more and more through the use of easily accessible social media sites that are directly connected to us, with our names and faces being put as a profile picture.

"It's not just universities it can be utilized by inquiring employers. You think they don't do their research, their quality control voyeurs. Something we view as harmless freedom of self-expression, from a professional perspective you'll be fired." This is a quote from the TED Talk where the "it" in the quote is referring to the digital footprint that is left by someone. Oftentimes, this can be overlooked by people being less private with themselves online, which can have horrendous consequences if something that is online is traced back to you which has legal or ethical consequences.

I wonder, since the poll was conducted in 2016, if the statistics have changed in the last 9 years since it was conducted. As articles that are dated over 5 years may not be the best source of information, unless there are no other studies that were conducted as of recent, then this one may be the most reliable.

There are many tools today that are used that distract students' attention away from the tasks and the topic that are being discussed. Distraction is something that (in my view) is an underrated problem in today's age. There seem to be many progressive developments happening that suddenly seem to be halted by distractions that are not logistical and take away energy from the main topic that is being focused on. Productive topics can spiral out more today with the wide array of media we can consume and do consume every day, which has little to no impact on our lives and is beneficial to enriching our lives in any capacity. Having tools that focus the student on their task is crucial, as it can aid in assisting the student in understanding that focus is important to finishing a task in a timely manner.

This is important as it underlines the reality that young children may not grasp all of the concepts of a certain topic or lesson without someone else guiding them, such as a teacher or student. This person guiding the student can greatly benefit the learning curve of a person, as it provides a more natural way of learning that is less formulaic in teaching. This approach is particularly beneficial when everyone may not understand a concept in the same way and may need special assistance with a certain topic or lesson.

This section that I have annotated speaks a great deal to many who go through the school system and are left wondering if anything they had learned was worth it. In other words, many individuals struggle to find motivation in what they are instructed to learn because it doesn't feel beneficial to their own being or doesn't serve them in any purpose. By using things that are connected to the real world it can show the usefulness of the problem with which are being presented.

This a great point to bring up as it gives the student the individualized learning that can best suits their needs in what they may not be understanding, as well as building on the self awareness of where they believe they may be behind and what strategies can be done to overcome that. 21st century learning can entail many different aspects that were not looked at as closely when it comes to building a students knowledge, as well as their neuroplasticity in the brain. One detail that was overlooked is the individualized learning that happens with students, as every child grows differently, thinks differently, and achieves outcomes to problems differently, this can be used as an advantage in 21st century learning as a student can play a role in their own learning process and evaluate how they are doing and what they can achieve knowing what they already have accumulated (knowledge wise).
