Part I: Academic Integrity
Paragraph 1:
Using technology in the classroom is a skill that teachers must develop. One such area is
the knowledge of digital citizenship and how this applies to students in the classroom. Common
Sense Education (n.d.) provides a curriculum that teaches students how to safely interact in a
digital environment. Safety is key, and digital etiquette skills are a continual process because
technology changes so quickly. Technology is here to stay, and teachers can enhance lessons and
learning in the classroom by increasing their digital literacy.

Paragraph 2:
, Elder abuse is an issue the aging population faces. Individuals are at risk of abuse from
caregivers and other individuals they interact with, such as someone who comes to clean their
homes or to deliver groceries. One risk associated with elder abuse is depression. Those who are
abused are more likely to experience depression than those who are not abused. In summary,
elder abuse is a significant issue among the aging population. Therefore, having a positive social
support system can help reduce abuse.

Paragraph 3:
Social media, such as TikTok, can be used as a marketing strategy. One study indicates
that social media content impacts user engagement. “This study confirms that content containing
dancing can increase comments and outperform informational content. Therefore, to enhance
SME, Honda and Toyota could share more dancing videos on their TikTok accounts. In addition,
although media formats (such as animations, music, and sounds) play less significant roles in
stimulating SME, global high-involvement brands need to be careful when embedding language
in their TikTok videos.” [social media engagement]
