Topic: Reflect on my use of social media across the social media platforms that my use.
Order Description
This an essay as a blog, Write a critical reflection in which you reflect on your use of social media across the social media platforms that you use.
Consider:
• What are your favorite platforms? (Facebook /Snapchat) Why? (You have to make a conscious effort to note down the time you spend on each social media platform you use, just for one day. You might be surprised about where you time goes…You can use a time tracking tool. There are quite a few tools available that track how you use your time on a variety of different devices and these are particularly useful if you want to get an objective view on how much time you spend on social media. One of these tools is RescueTime, but there are others you can find by searching for time tracking tools.) Share the results in a really brief post on your blog
• What are your least favorite platforms? (Twitter) Why?
• How do you access your favorite platforms? What devices do you use to access them and why? Where are you when you access them and why? (E.g. you might access Facebook on the bus to kill time)
• What do you do in various social media spaces? What is the nature of your activity there? (E.g. is it purely about socialising; are you keeping up with your friends’ lives; are you reading the latest news?) How do you do these things, i.e. what functionality do you use to allow you to do these things?
• Do you create content? What type of content and where do you post it?
This isn’t an exhaustive list. You might come up with your own based on your reading.
• Share one or more news articles, journal articles or videos related to how people use social technologies or understanding how people use social or other technologies. Include a very brief explanation of why you have chosen to share them.
