2017 #SMSociety Theme: Social Media for Social Good or Evil

Our online behaviour is far from virtual–it extends our offline lives. Much social media research has identified the positive opportunities of using social media; for example, how people use social media to form support groups online, participate in political uprising, raise money for charities, extend teaching and learning outside the classroom, etc. However, mirroring offline experiences, we have also seen social media being used to spread propaganda and misinformation, recruit terrorists, live stream criminal activities, reinforce echo chambers by politicians, and perpetuate hate and oppression (such as racist, sexist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic behaviour).

I am relatively new to rowing having never done organized sports or much exercise for most of my life. I joined Hanlan Boat Club, Toronto Canada in 2021 and found an amazing community and a fabulous sport. I am interested in resources to support Master Rowers who joined the sport over 40 years of age without background in the sport. I also note the difficult in finding coaches for Master Rowers (at least this is true in Canada). I wonder if this is the case in other countries and if anyone has some ideas about this.
