A Teenager’s View on Social Media

A Teenager’s View on Social Media
Written by an actual teen I read technology articles quite often and see plenty of authors attempt to dissect or describe the teenage audience, especially in regards to social media. However, I have yet to see a teenager contribute their voice to this discussion. This is where I would like to provide my own humble opinion. For transparency, I am a 19-year-old male attending The University of Texas at Austin. I am extremely interested in social media’s role in our society as well as how it is currently evolving. This article will not use any studies, data, sources, etc. I think the best way to approach this would be to break it down by social media network and the observations/viewpoints I've gathered over the years. Facebook In short, many have nailed this on the head. Facebook is often used by us mainly for its group functionality. Facebook is often the jumping-off point for many people to try to find you online, simply because everyone around us has it. Instagram Twitter Snapchat Tumblr

The 7 Characteristics of Teachers Who Use Technology Effectively I just came across this awesome graphic shared by our colleagues in teachthought and I found it really interesting. The graphic features 7 habits of the highly effective teachers using technology. Even though the habits mentioned are generic , they still reflect part of the digital behavior teacher should embrace when using technology in their class. What is really interesting in this graphic is that all of these 7 habits are also the same features we find in people with " growth mindset ". Without any further ado, I ll let you go through these 7 habits and don't forget to let us know what you think of them. Priginal source of the graphic is always prepped Snapchat i skolan – blanda det goda med det onda. Snapchat – ni har säkert hört talas om det, men om ni är över 20 så är sannolikheten låg att ni använder det. Men era elever använder det – i många klasser mer än Instagram (det ledande sociala mediet) och Facebook (störst till antalet användare, numera 3:a till antalet brukare). Så först en liten film om vad det är och hur användarna använder det: Här är en liten guide till hur du skulle kunna komma igång med det själv: Frågarna man eleverna om hur och varför de använder snapchat är det första svaret: Det är kul! - Bra sätt att dela med sig av sin dag - Roliga bilder utan att man behöver bry sig om att de finns kvar - Lägger man saker på Insta så finns det där för alltid – dvs man är medveten om att det man lägger upp är en publicering. Så snapchat har lyckats hitta en nisch för unga som vill vara sociala men som vill vara det med sina vänner – vänner de känner – och de slipper oftast näthat i snapchat. Dessa börjar nu hamna på nätet.

is the internet the new street? Today we're more distracted than ever. On our phones all the time, swept away in the infinite streams of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, Twitter and everything else. Fashion shows feel as much about snapping the models of the moment, and filming the finales, as looking at the clothes. If you're lucky enough to sit front row at the British Fashion Council's big tent, you'll have a brightly coloured bottle of Vitamin Water and a cluster of phone chargers sprouting under your seat; that's all you really need. This is about so much more than fashion week though, it's about the way we experience the world. i-D started out as a street style fanzine documenting trends as they happened in our cities. Punk was supposed to change the world, now it's a theme for the Met Ball; an excuse for Miley Cyrus to spike her hair and Kim Kardashian to dress up as a settee. Now it seems like the streets have lost their edge. There's a real crossing swords of cultures on the internet. That's not all.

Qu'est-ce qui rend les infographies populaires et comment en créer ? Les infographies représentent un contenu très viral mais pourquoi sont-elles si populaires ? Quelles sont les étapes pour créer une infographie ? Rien de mieux qu’une infographie pour expliquer ce phénomène mais avant, voici les points importants relevés dans l’infographie que vous retrouverez en fin d’article. Retrouvez un BONUS pour créer des infographies, également en fin d’article. Qu’est-ce qu’une infographie ? Une infographie est une image qui contient un ensemble de petites images et du texte. Pourquoi les infographies sont-elles populaires ? Leur popularité est due à 4 raisons : 1. Une infographie transmet de l’information sur un sujet bien précis et cela de façon créative. Ainsi, le fait de partager une infographie dispense, d’une part, les blogueurs de ces longues recherches en leur permettant de transmettre facilement et rapidement de l’information pertinente. 2. 3. En règle générale, les contenus visuels « accrochent » l’oeil des lecteurs bien plus que du simple texte. 4. 1. 2.

K. Keim, CMO de Lithium. Le social CRM est mort, vive l’expérience client Qui ? Katy Keim, CMO de Lithium. Quoi ? Comment ? - Quelles sont les activités de Lithium aujourd'hui ? L’adoption massive des réseaux sociaux comme canal relationnel a pris les marques par surprise. - Sephora US, l’un de vos clients, a réussi à créer une communauté forte autour de la beauté. Non et d’ailleurs Sephora est un bon exemple : la marque n’a pas choisi de parler de ses produits mais de la beauté en général, un sujet de conversation engageant. - Certains directeurs marketing restent aujourd’hui sceptiques : il est difficile de mesurer le ROI de ses opérations. Le "social" ou "marketing participatif" a longtemps été un champ d’expérimentation à travers des campagnes ou des initiatives de marques sur les réseaux sociaux. - Les champions de la relation client sont les pure players comme Airbnb ou Uber. Ils ont contribué à une hausse des attentes de la part des clients. - Le mobile a été une de ces mutations dans les usages et attentes. Parfaitement bien.
