Social Media Use

What social media do you use? How often do you use it?

  1. Personally, I do not use much social media. I am available on Facebook, Pinterest, and that is all. Prior to graduation (2019), I had used Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook on a near-daily basis. I've found that as I age, I use social media strictly to connect with friends, family, and network with professionals. At this time, I use social media probably a few instances per week.

  2. Currently, I use a variety of social media in my personal and professional life. I primarily use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat. I use each of these on a daily basis, but I have tried to cut back on my time spent on social media lately, particularly with Facebook. I use Twitter more for professional use, so I am not on it as much at this point. I also occasionally use LinkedIn and YouTube in my professional life. In the past I have used Pinterest, but I have not used it in a few years.

  3. I am on almost all social media platforms. Whether it be to stay connected to friends and family or to just get a daily laugh. I also find it helpful to use it as a networking tool to connect with others in the field and stay up to date quickly with what they are doing. I also find myself on many different social media platforms "babysitting" some of my guys being many kids these days sometimes don't necessarily have a filter and don't realize how some stuff down the road can cause them a lot of issues.

  4. I am a big fan of social media. Daily, I am on facebook, instagram, and snap chat. When looking for teaching ideas, I will browse through pinterest. I used to use twitter when I was younger but I do not anymore. I do sometimes find myself addicted to my phone and stay on social media for a couple hours and then there are days when I don't go on it as much because I am busy with school or other extracurricular activities.

  5. The three social media platforms I use on a daily basis are Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. When I say daily, I usually click on the app on my phone at least once or twice and scroll through my news feed. However, I only ever post on Facebook maybe once every 2 months, I hardly ever post on Instagram and I send a Snapchat once a week to my close friends. I enjoy using social media as an outlet to just relax and see how my distant family members and childhood and college friends are doing. For teaching, I usually use Pinterest for creative ideas or ask a colleague or search the Internet for what I am looking for.

  6. I've definitely slowed down on my social media use in the past year or so. I still have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat accounts, but do not post very often. I'm on Snapchat every day but only for my own personal use. It's the only way I'm able to stay in contact with all of my friends I've made throughout high school/college. I've used Twitter in the classroom in the past but rarely use it otherwise. Being a teacher and head coach has definitely made cautious about using social media.

  7. At this point I'm very limited with my social media presence. I check Instagram daily, but rarely post anything. I mostly use it for entertainment purposes, but glean professional insights from some of the people I follow. I used to use Facebook, but I haven't been on much since July. That's when I decided to take a break from the toxic environment that was becoming my newsfeed. It was a welcome reprieve.

  8. My social media presence is very limited, wit the exception of Facebook. I keep up with old friends and family. Post photos (no more than one per day and usually only one per week). I kind of just lurk on Instagram. I enjoy watching people's Instastories but again rarely post or comment. I have a Twitter account that I never use. And opened several other accounts which I never use. When job hunting I do use LinkedIn. I think it is a valuable website and I am learning all the time ways to improve my presence.

  10. I spend a lot of time on social media throughout the day and mostly for personal use. I usually do a daily run through Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Gmail and Outlook, and Tiktok. Weekly, I'll do a check through LinkedIn. I would say I use Snapchat and Tiktok the most and my emails the least. Most of my emails on my personal Gmail anymore are junk from stores anyways, so not much is interesting.

  11. The social media I used the most is Facebook and Instagram. I find that I mainly scroll through both catching up on pictures of friends and family. I post occasionally, but I do not post daily. I mainly like to go to the video portion of Facbook and watch short clips. If anything while I am working I like to have the videos on for background noise. I have a hard time staying focused for long periods of time so the 3 minute videos, DIY videos, and Judge Judy episodes hold my attention just long enough to not get antsy. I also always check both my school email and my personal email daily. I like to make sure that I do not miss an important email from the school as well as about any bills that may be due. Pinterest is something I will look at maybe once a month if I am searching for a specific idea. I rarely go onto Snapchat, but I use Youtube daily for working out at the gym and listening to music.

  12. The social media platforms that I use are Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Pinterest. Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat are used daily as a way for me to connect with family and friends. I enjoy sharing pictures from time to time as well as commenting on others posts sporadically. Although it is a great way to stay connected and learn about what is going on in others’ lives, I feel that sometimes I get sucked in and spend too much time browsing around at night. I use Pinterest for my personal and professional use to get ideas and inspiration.

  13. I use a few social media platforms daily for personal use. Some of these include: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat (not to often), and Pinterest. I mainly use Facebook to connect with family and friends near and far. It has allows me to participate socially in my friends and families lives. I use Instagram to share rare moments of my life to a select audience and also follow celebrities and music groups for entertainment. I rarely use Snapchat, but I have younger cousins and my own kids use it and they made me join. Lastly, I enjoy Pinterest for many of my interests and hobbies such as: gardening, teaching, DIY projects, traveling, and cooking. I have retrieved many ideas and recipes. Social media can be time consuming when you have free time.

  14. I frequently use social media for personal use! I find that social media can be a really positive way to share ideas and connect with the world instantly. I use Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and TikTok several times a day usually as a passive virtual observer. One of my favorite aspects of social media is that information and inspiration comes at all times of the day. You never know when you're going to come across the perfect idea for your classroom. The ability to save, comment, and connect with the creators of the media makes it so much more useful in personal and professional endeavors.

  15. I mainly use social media for personal use. I find it is a great way of communicating with family and friends near and far. I am available on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Snapchat, and YouTube. I have recently started using TikTok, which I find myself on WAY too much! I use Pinterest for my DIY projects, Cricut crafts, future house plans, outfit inspiration, and classroom resources. I also find myself checking my personal and school emails multiple times a day to ensure that I don't miss anything important!

  16. I use Instagram everyday. I often worry that I use it too much! I do use it for both professional and personal reasons. I also use Facebook and TikTok but far less often. I love woodworking, so I find great videos on both Insta and Tik-Tok. I sometimes use Snapchat or Pinterest, but I use those both rarely. I use Google Suites also almost everyday. I use this primarily for professional reasons, but I also have a personal email account.

  17. On a daily basis, I use Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram. I use all of these platforms as a way to share and communicate with friends and family. I have a Google account, Twitter page, and a separate Instagram account for professional use. I use social media quite often in my daily life as a way to connect with friends who live across the country.
