I created this for my LIBE 477 course at UBC where I have been learning more about digital media. Throughout this course I kept having the same contradictory thoughts: 'digital media is amazing', and 'digital media is problematic'. The technology is exciting and ever changing, but not without a dark side. Digital technology is here to stay. I believe that knowledge is powerful and that with more knowledge, we will be better equipped to use our current and future technologies in ways that are cognizant and supportive of our mental and emotional health. This Padlet is meant to be a collection of resources and information to help in that goal. Enjoy!]]> 2022-06-22 23:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/shanidee/Bookmarks/wish/2228230906
