BONUS ARTICLE: This study examines how teens are portrayed relative to their technology use through images. The study presents some interesting insights about the tensions between macro and micro discourses about technology use as well as the focus on technology itself rather than addressing what teens are doing with the technology. Any parallels with teens and social media?

This blog post introduces tools for social media analytics (particularly Twitter). Some of them may support cross platform analysis (not just Twitter). Have you played with any of them before? I've explored TAGS and Socioviz just a little bit.

Interested in Twitter Analytics? Take a look at this blog post that may help you gain initial impressions.

Here are two more resources for you to uncover Twitter Analytics. 1. https://www.brandwatch.com/blog/twitter-analytics-tools/ and 2. https://buffer.com/library/twitter-analytics/. I hope these resources help! :)

BDEVIES shared this article on her blog post and I wanted to include it in our eme6414 Diigo group. This maybe a timely read for learning about the roles social media (can) play in community development.

Here is a link to the journal site (https://fla.st/3cDgG9Y)! The one that I've shared seems like it's not functioning.

This study examines Twitter chat using communities of practice. The authors focus on mutual engagement, joint enterprise, and shared repertoire to analyze the chat. This is one of the studies explicitly demonstrating the relationship between CoP and Twitter chat.

This study examines how imagined surveillance influence college students' self-presentation across social media platforms. This may be one of the readings related to privacy issues as we cover this week in EME6414.

This study examines world language teachers' activities on Twitter. The author uses communities of practice (CoP) as a theoretical framework. I try to focus on membership, trajectories, norms, moderation, knowledge sharing, privacy, and ethics as part of my assignment.

This study examines one-hour Twitter chat to contribute the research on designing online learning communities to support effective learning. The authors illustrate the network structure, as well.

This study examines how a group of language teachers use Twitter (#MFLtwitterati) as a continuous professional development tool. The author uses Communities of Practice to identify the elements of CoP and asks whether #MFLtwitterati is a CoP, and if so, how? :-)

This study examines student-teacher interaction on Facebook and how teachers manage ethical concerns arising from pupils' actions and their appearance on Facebook.

Thank you for sharing that article! It is really interesting and similar to the concerns addressed in the first article. I just do not understand the default assumption and position that self-disclosure in online spaces will damage the interaction between the stakeholders. In the end, they (e.g., student-teacher, doctor-patient) both perform what they are expected to perform in a work-related context. Self-disclosing individual aspects should not discredit one's expertise, credibility, etc. I am curious about your perspectives. :-)

I think I agree with you in the idea that in some relationships there is no mutual disclosure because we expect and accept a level of certain patterns of behavior or let's say self-disclosure. As you have mentioned, while we do not anticipate a therapist to self-disclose 'personal' aspects, the same goes with the person. S/he is expected to self-disclose. I am not familiar with the therapist/person interaction, but I can make connections from my personal experiences. They both have 'preferred, expected' rights and duties in relation to each other. While a therapist may be legitimate to know whether the person is ADHD or not or whatsoever, it sounds reasonable. However, when it comes to the person whether the therapist is an ADHD or whatsoever, wait! A therapist and ADHD??? No way. I wish I read about an expert's perspectives in a blog form that may potentially heal my wounds or others. But at the same time, it is not easy to establish. One of the tensions that I need to resolve, in the end. I am glad that you shared your experiences. Such a nurturing conversation. :-)
