In this unit, I learned how social media affects me personally and society as a whole. I also learned how to create and ethically share different types of media, including images, audio, and video.
We completed projects like the Social Media Impact Quiz, which showed how much time we spend on social media and how it can lead to unhealthy habits. We also did the Digital Media Project, where I learned how to upload different types of files and give proper credit to the original creators.
This unit helped me understand both the impact of social media and the importance of sharing digital content responsibly.
