Faith Fox's Learning Journal

 I am very habitual with my days and the use of technology. I choose to go on social media only after my work is done because it is a big distractor and has, in the past, prevented me from getting my job done. The only thing that changed throughout the day was what I did when my work was done. I specifically communicate daily with my Mom, Dad, sisters, and brothers, and I catch up with my friends at least 2 times per week. I don't communicate with my husband on social media because we always tell each other in person. I specifically use my walk with my dog or when I'm driving to catch up with my family and friends. The timing of the semester and workload affect my use. My eyes tire of looking at a laptop all day, so the last thing I want to do is look at my phone.  Sunday-  iPhone 7:30 am- I woke up and checked my emails on the outlook app and my iMessages. I opened Spotify and listened to music while getting ready for the day. I open the TV and click on the Hulu app to p...

The chapter discusses the importance of measuring social media engagement and impact and the tools and methods used for this purpose.  Chapter 6 discusses the importance of setting goals and defining key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure social media success effectively.

It provides an overview of social media metrics and analytics, highlighting the importance of measuring social media impact and engagement, as well as...

                  After reading We Are Data -Preface and introduction, I was surprised to learn more about the EU google restrictions. I was although I am aware of some of the things that the preface and introduction talked about, I still found it very creepy in a way how were all categorized by our internet usage. I logged into the   www.google.ads/preferences   and was looking through everything, surprisingly, they are very accurate. To the point of knowing personal things like we are trying to get pregnant. I also logged into google EU and did some research on there. Even looking up celebrities and influencers to see of the are categorized as one. Knowing this, I did change some privacy settings. I will not change the way I use the internet because in a sense I already have a long history of online presence and using the internet and social media is a part of my everyday life and work.     I did hide my inform...

My personal ‘donts’ of social media are sharing live location, nudity, politics and To much information posts. My ‘dos’ consist of posting things that my family and friends would be comfortable seeing, and light hearted content. I first started using social media in 2008. In middle school, I would post childish things scubas candy and my sister. Now I post on my personal page things I have been up to recently, my dog, and family. I used to use aim and myspace, but now I use Facebook and instagram. Online image can be dangerous and unrealistic. And that falls into comparing yourself to others. It is dangerous and can damage ones mental space. Rules in my book include content that has too much information, nudity, gore or anything that could be disturbing. I feel like quitting social media in this day and age is very brave in the sense that almost everything revolves around it. I do not have any issues about selfies and self expression on social media as long as its not vulgar. Kids have...
