  • , I also ask if Snapchat can greatly enhance a positive digital footprint. The answer is usually a resounding "No," and I leave it to students to decide if they wish to register or keep their Snapchat accounts active.

      I think this is a very social media app that should be addressed. I use snapchat but I am careful about what I post and don't feel that I ever abuse this tool. However, I do know that some people I follow post things that they feel is "ok" to post because it will supposedly be erased. What is posted on snapchat by these people could potentially ruin their careers in my opinion and I feel that if it is something you wouldn't post on facebook then you shouldn't post it on snapchat either. It is important to have this discussion with students too being that they likely use this app with their friends. I think it is vital that the students are aware that what they post is never truly lost and leaves a digital footprint that could potentially come back to haunt them depending on what it is that they post. I do feel that it is important to discuss the idea of a digital footprint and what it means and how it can impact your future regardless of which social media you use.  -Carissa McGuigan
  • Still, I'm a firm believer in using class time to show students my profile. I explain how my page makes a strong, lasting statement about who I am and what I value. I always think twice before sharing any content, and I tell students that before I hit "Post," I imagine friends or loved ones looking over my shoulder. What would they think?

      I think that snapchat has more pros than cons.. I use snapchat but I am careful about what I post and don't feel that I ever abuse this tool. Snapchat is very popular today and I know many students at the highschool I student teach at use it. I do know that some people I follow from college and from the high school I attended will post things that they feel is "ok" to post because it will supposedly be erased. What is posted on snapchat by these people could potentially ruin their careers in my opinion and I feel that if it is something you wouldn't post on facebook then you shouldn't post it on snapchat either.

  • Curating your own content can be just as powerful as reviewing others that have done it for you.

      It can be beneficial to compile our own resources i.e. blogs/articles related to education. This helps us to actively acknowledge what our particular interests are as we browse and what we personally find important. I like the idea of following blogs that curate content for you but sometimes our own interests can change and by browsing content we can evolve the content we curate accordingly. It is great that this tool will provide suggestions for you based on your interests also as it would keep the process more efficient. -Carissa McGuigan

  • Why don’t more people take advantage of Twitter lists?

      I began using twitter several years ago as a teenager. Since then I strictly viewed twitter as a way to communicate with friends and to tweet about random thoughts. I never once thought of twitter being used for the purpose of expanding my knowledge in my professional life as a teacher. It was not until this course that I realized how beneficial it could be to use twitter for the purpose of following blogs and finding articles that would allow me to expand my knowledge as a teacher according to my own interests. I completely intend to create a twitter profile that is strictly for following professional blogs geared towards education. -Carissa McGuigan
